How can I get the facebook friends_count of a user profile via graph API 2.2? -

in of profiles count of actual friends public, there seems no obvious way figure via graph api.

if access via /user.id/friends?access_token= whole friends list if friends using facebook app too. (see get facebook friends graph api v.2.0 ). not need friends, need count.

there possibilty via fql:

facebook.com/fql?q=select friend_count user username="<username>"

but leads because in future fql not supported anymore.

the 3rd possibilty scrape whole page. create facebook mad , not efficient (a fb site has ~400kb).

does know possiblity/trick friends_count of user on facebook attribute public ?

thanks suggestions.

you cannot friend count of user, can value user authorized right now:

/me/friends

there summary.total_count field in result.

you need user_friends permission access token well.

btw, scraping not allowed: https://www.facebook.com/apps/site_scraping_tos_terms.php
