Facebook Graph API: Get user_location

Question

Is there a way to get the location of my facebook friends using the Graph API?

Answer 1

Your friend is considered a user, so you go to the user documentation, get the field name location (to be send in the fields parameter) AND you check if you need a specific permission:

Requires user_location or friend_location permission

HOWEVER there's a typo! to get your friend's location you need the friends_location (with s), reference.

Here's a PHP-SDK example:

$facebook->api('/friend_id', 'get', array("fields"=>"name,location"));

Here I'm retrieving the name and location fields (please note that the id field will be retrieved automatically).

Answer 2

FB.api('/me', function(response) {
    var location = response.location.name;
});
