Get a list of friends of a friend on Facebook

Tags:

I've recently started looking into the Facebook API and am trying to work out how to retrieve the list of friends of another user (in this case the user is someone I'm friends with).

So far I've only worked out how to find out the friends of a person who I am also friends with. However the Friends Wheel application can do it as you can generate a wheel base on one of your friends, so I'm guessing it is possible.

Anyone know how to do this?

Is there a way to see someone's friends list on Facebook?

Go to the profile of the person you want to see their hidden friend list. Click on the 'Social Revealer' extension on Chrome. Once it's opened, click on “See Friends”. The Facebook user's friend list will open in a new tab.

Are Facebook friend lists public?

Your friends also control who can see their friendships on their own profiles. For example, if you set your friends list to Only Me, only you'll be able to see your full friends list on your profile. But, if your friend has their friends list set to Public, anyone can see that you're friends.

You Can only access friends list of logged in user(i.e, your friend list) or the logged in user's friends that are users of your app. i.e, You can access friends friend list only if your friends are the users of your app.

You can check if two of your friends are friends using friends.are_friends.
