I am trying to do a very basic thing with the new Graph API.
I already know how to get my friends: "https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=4333ed34d..."
But if I have a friend who's ID is 123456, then I want to get his friends : "https://graph.facebook.com/123456/friends?access_token=4333ed34d..."
But I get an exception:
"The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."
Why can't I do that? It's a very trivial task to ask from the API.
If I try to get friends of a random user I get HTTP 500 but it contains this response:
{
"error": {
"type": "Exception",
"message": "(#604) Can't lookup all friends of <UID>. Can only lookup for the logged in user (<MY_UID>), or friends of the logged in user with the appropriate permission"
}
}
which is pretty self-explanatory.
If I try to get friends of my friend who allows viewing his other friends it works fine. If my friend chose to not allow viewing his other friends I get the same error.
