Hi All,

Quick question. How can I get the Facebook ids of the current logged in user’s second degree friends or friends-of-friends?

Sample sites that do the same behavior are the ff:

  • vark.com
  • thread.com
A: 

It is not possible to get a listing of friends of friends. Although, given two Facebook user ids you can check if they are friends using: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/friend

Yeah. Its seems impossible to get friends-of-friends listing. I also tried to use the new graph API of Facebook but still no luck. Also, search using the friend FQL table requires the uid1 must be a logged in or else it will not give you an output.But... How did vark.com and thread.com did their friends-of-friends listing? If they can do it, then its possible to have the friends-of-friends listing right? Any idea on how they did it?
