Facebook Graph API 1.0 Deprecation

Question

I have been been following the announcements surrounding F8 and I found this change log:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog

I am just wondering, if I understand this correctly ....

Does this change log mean that the graph API endpoints such as /me/friends, etc. will stop working on 4/15/2015 when version 1.0 of the API is turned off, or is Facebook going to be removing the functionality sooner?

Answer 1

/me/friends is available in API v2.0 too so it will not be removed. The change is that /me/friends don't return all friends in v2.0, it only return friends that are using the app.

You can start using v2.0 now by doing /v2.0/me/friends . If you specify /v1.0/me/friends or no version at all like /me/friends that will call v1.0 until 4/30/2015. At 4/30/2015 calling /v1.0/me/friends and /me/friends will be the same as calling /v2.0/me/friends

And if your app was created after 4/30/2014 you are not able to use v1.0 at all.
