I want to send my application request to user's friends using Graph API, is there any way to do this please help me I am new to this.
The only way for a person to request somebody to be their friend is through the Facebook web interface.You can request for the user only not his friends.

I had read the API reference, but still not sure if it's possible to send message to a friend? Suppose I had get access_token from user.
I want to use the API to display user's friends list in my Web UI, and the user can choose a friend and start to chat with the one.
Is it possible for my Facebook app, with the authorization of the user, to send messages to the user's friends as a page? If so, how would one go about this? Would it be the Page Call to Action in the Graph API?
Thank you, I'm pretty new to the Facebook API.
Is it possible to send a message automatically with the Facebook Graph API to a Facebook user who is not a friend or user of the authorized application?
I know that we couldn't before.
but is there a method today?
SHORT Answer
No you can't
Long Answer
If the conversation is between two Facebook Users :
No you can't use Graph API, because you won't get the mailbox permissions.
If you don't need to use the GRAPH API, consider the SEND Dialog, then it should be possible
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/send-dialog
If the conversation is between a Facebook Page and a Facebook User
You can send only a message if the Facebook User initiated at first the chat with the Facebook Page.
As you noticed, none of these meet your Use case :)
I hope this answers your concern
How can I do this? Im using Graph API v2.3
I am able to get the access token, but I don't know how to get the user's ID.
I think your post is duplicated...
Btw, just send a request to:
https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=...
I've a situation in my application where I need to send apprequests (or any way of sending any request to my users) for both my facebook friends as well as the same application users.
The problem with this is ,
when we are sending apprequests using application itself(using app_access_token) we can't send app requests to my facebook friends who are not yet part of my application ("oAuthException : User must accept TOS" will be thrown).
So when i use the 'Request dialog' (FB.UI app request method) its possible to list/send requests to only FB friends .
So i need a solution for having a method where i can list all my user's FB friends and application users and send apprequest at once to all..
Anybody has tried something like this before?
And also i tried FB.UI (send method) and searched for graph API and also considered option of posting wall message and everything doesn't work both types..
Any help on this?
May I draw your attention to the following Facebook Documentation for AppRequests:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/
You need to have a look at the section headered "Frictionless requests".
From what I understand from this sentence:
Upon first sending a request to a friend from within an app, a user may authorize the app to send subsequent requests to the same friend without prompting for his permission.
It sounds like there is no way to "bulk" send to all of a user's friends, it is on a friend-by-friend basis. It sounds sensible to me, I wouldn't want my all of my Facebook friends to be flooded with invitations either.
You could however opt for prompting the user with the Friend Request interface which is much friendlier to your users... this is available using the Javascript SDK.
