User:Marlon/API

API plan

Marlon Harder & Marlon Harder

Marlon Harder's profile picture on Facebook

Goal

I have a friend on Facebook called Marlon Harder. I don't really know him. Who is he? What else, besides our name, do we have in common? Can Facebook tell me more about him (by looking at his friends, events, etc) And is there a way to use/visualise that information?

How?

Use Facebook Open Graph API? Maybe by extracting information from both FB pages and comparing them on/via a different website.

  "id": "100000462426050",

  "first_name": "Marlon",
  "last_name": "Harder",
  "username": "marlon.harder",
  "gender": "female",
  "locale": "en_US"

Some interesting things from web:

Facebook's Graph API allows websites to draw information about more objects than simply people, including photos, events, and pages, and their relationships between each other. This expands the social graph concept to more than just relationships between individuals and instead applies it to virtual non-human objects between individuals, as well.

Since explaining the concept of the social graph, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has often touted Facebook's goal of offering the website's social graph to other websites so that a user's relationships can be made aware and put to use on websites outside of Facebook's control. [1]
