Found out that Spotify Web API does not have an available endpoint for the current user's list of followed users.
So I was wondering if there is a way through the Facebook API to get a list of friends who has a Spotify account?
And for the friends with a Spotify account - getting their Spotify user IDs?
Thank you very much.
There is definitely no way. You can only get friends who authorized YOUR app too with the Facebook API, and there is no relation to the Spotify app. They even have different IDs, because they are App Scoped.

I am working with facebook graph and I believe that Facebook graph doesn't give access to users friends list but only total friends count is given on graph request in any of the present graph versions (2.0-2.7).
But this app has got over that restriction and it gets users friends list on oauth version 2.3 How did they got that ?
Facebook App with friends list resource available(meaww.com)
Did facebook made any exception for them or did I missed something ?
I would not authorize those spam apps, just to be safe. Anyway, i assume they are using taggable_friends or invitable_friends - i am pretty sure they shouldn´t though. There is more information in this thread: Facebook Graph Api v2.0+ - /me/friends returns empty, or only friends who also use my app
I am in the prototype and research stage of an app that would create a quiz about a FaceBook user's friends. The gist is that each question would ask the user to match the profile picture of her Facebook friend with the name of the Facebook user that picture belongs to.
As I read the v2.3 Facebook API documentation, specifically the section about the user_friends permission, it appears that any app I make will only be able to get the user's friends' info if the friend has also installed and authorized my app.
If this is indeed the case, I won't even attempt the app as it's unlikely to be any fun if the content is limited to the set of friends who have installed the app.
Is there any other way to get the user's friends info while staying within the bounds of the Facebook Developers Terms of Service AND without requiring that the user's friend has installed and authorized my app?
Yes, that is indeed the case, you can only get access to friends who authorized your App with user_friends too. There is no other way since you don´t want to "invite friends to a canvas game" or "tag friends".

I'm developing a google maps based app. I would like to integrate the capabilities of being able to see your friends location/s (similar to how you can see uber cars or fiend my friends). currently i have a facebook signin option. Does anyone know what sdk i need to integrate or the name of what this is called so that i can do further research.
There is no way to get the location of Facebook friends, friend permissions are completely gone for privacy reasons: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
You can only get the location of an authorized User (with the user_location permission), see Facebook docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/user
I'm trying to get logged user friends list, through Facebook Login with accepted permissions. As i understand it returns only those users who are accepted permission of the same app.
But, when i'm just opening https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ , choosing "Graph API explorer" and entering -> /me/friends i get just three random friends. Why is it so?
Can someone help to understand how to get all friends of a logged user throug facebook login? Or it's not possible anymore?
Thanks
It's all in the docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/upgrading#upgrading_v2_0_user_ids, and there are multiple questions/answers about the same topic during the last days available via the search of Stackoverflow, e.g. retrieve full list of friends using facebook API
If you are using Facebook API v2.0 /me/friends will only return friends that are using the app and not all friends. And there is nothing you can do to get all friends
If you created your app after 4/30/2014 you have to use v2.0.
is there any way to fetch list of friends using facebook 2.0 API?
I was reading this upgrade from the API and it seems it is quite difficult to fetch the friends now,
but I have seen 2 permissions
read_friendlist
user_friends
Is their any way to fetch list of friends? and what about the widgets that get friends from facebook, will they go down?
In v2.0 of the Graph API /me/friends returns the user's friends who also use the app. You need to be granted the user_friends permission in order to get even app-using friends.
There is no way in v2.0 to get the full user's friends.
However, you may use the https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/user/invitable_friends API or the https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.0/user/taggable_friends APIs to get all the user's friends with tokens than can be used for tagging and inviting.
the read_friendlist perm doesn't get you a list of the user's friends, it gets you the list of a user's friendlists which may be used to build a custom privacy selector when publishing stories to Facebook.
As of 4/30/2014, you can only retrieve the friends who also use the app.
There are, however, specific methods for apps in the 'Game' category for inviting friends.
