v2.0 facebook graph api not getting user id from graph api via taggable_friends

Question

In v1.0 API I was able to get friends with their facebook ID like this:

{
    "id": "757157247693594",
    "name": "Jony Woker"
},

In the v2.2 I can use only taggable_friends to get this information, however `i must have missed something in the documentation, because the id I'm getting is like this (id is always different):

{
   "id": "AaL5Bh-Kv7YBI1tq9DdERW9f74MK5mpO-yersgJ7RkRQ9THxVgU_3MmU4sJImgMvggjbPKZ_hexxr98of9v4KAwwoziaz9lfU08JwyQxXUGviw",
   "name": "Jony Woker"
}

Please advice me how to manage this situation.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You didn't miss something. You cannot replace the /me/friends edge with /me/taggable_friends.

The latter is only to be used to tag friends in posts, not to show the list of friends, and this is intentional.

It's all in the docs:

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_0
• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/taggable_friends/
• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user-taggable-friend/
