Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) See Also Examples

getFriends retrieves information about the user's friends.

1	getFriends(token, simplify = FALSE)

`token`	Either a temporary access token created at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer or the OAuth token created with `fbOAuth`.
`simplify`	If `TRUE`, function will return only name and id for each friend. If `FALSE`, it will return additional information from their profiles: gender, birthday, location, hometown, relationship status and profile picture.

This function requires the use of a OAuth token with extended permissions. After the introduction of version 2.0 of the Graph API, only friends who are using the application that you used to generate the token to query the API will be returned.
