Facebook Methods description: friends.get

Returns the identifiers of the current user’s Facebook friends. The current user is determined from the session_key parameter. The values returned from this call are not storable.
Parameters
| string | api_key | The application key associated with the calling application. |
| string | session_key | The session key of the logged in user. |
| float | call_id | The request’s sequence number. Each successive call for any session must use a sequence number greater than the last. We suggest using the current time in milliseconds, such as PHP’s microtime(true) function. |
| string | sig | An MD5 hash of the current request and your secret key, as described in the authentication guide. |
| string | v | This must be set to 1.0 to use this version of the API. |
| string | format | Optional - desired response format. Either “XML” (default) or “JSON”. |
| string | callback | Optional - wrap the response inside a function call. This is primarily to enable cross-domain javascript requests using the <script> tag, sometimes known as “JSONP“. This works with both XML and JSON. |
| int | flid | Optional - Get the friends belonging to a Friend List |
Example Return XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <friends_get_response xmlns="http://api.facebook.com/1.0/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://api.facebook.com/1.0/ http://api.facebook.com/1.0/facebook.xsd" list="true"> <uid>222333</uid> <uid>1240079</uid> </friends_get_response>

SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1=loggedInUid
