Getting facebook friends list - facebook

Question

I made link of facebook login which requests an access token with permission to friends list:
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?response_type=token&scope=user_friends...>Login</a>
After the user passed the login successfully and accept these permissions and my app stored the access token, I tried to get his friends list by:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token={ACCESS_TOKEN}
But all I get is:
{
"data": [
],
"summary": {
"total_count": 245
}
}
Maybe I should request something else in the scope?
Thank you !

Answer 1

$request = new FacebookRequest(
$session,
'GET',
'/me/friends'
);
$response = $request->execute();
$graphObject = $response->getGraphObject();
For example in CodeIgniter I use fb library and i get friends list like this:
public function get_user_friends() {
if ( $this->session ) {
try {
$fr = new FacebookRequest( $this->session, 'GET', '/me/friends' );
$request = $fr->execute();
$user_friends = $request->getGraphObject()->asArray();
return $user_friends;
} catch(FacebookRequestException $e) {
return false;
/*echo "Exception occured, code: " . $e->getCode();
echo " with message: " . $e->getMessage();*/
}
}
}
And dont forget that it has some conditions:
Permissions
A user access token with user_friends permission is required to view the current person's friends.
This will only return any friends who have used (via Facebook Login) the app making the request.
If a friend of the person declines the user_friends permission, that friend will not show up in the friend list for this person.
