Facebook makes it even easier to interact with Facebook's Graph API.
import facebook
# Query Facebook anonymously
user = facebook.User('johannes.gorset')
user.facebook_id # => 586052336
user.first_name # => 'Johannes'
user.last_name # => 'Gorset'
user.name # => 'Johannes Gorset'
user.link # => 'http://facebook.com/johannesgorset'
# Query Facebook on behalf of a user
user = facebook.User('johannes.gorset', oauth_token = oauth_token)
user.permissions # => ['user_location', 'user_relationships']
user.friends # => [<User #586052345>, <User #556022345>, <User #586252349>, ...]
user.friends[0].name # => "John Doe"
user.friends[0].link # => "http://facebook.com/john.doe"
I'm not nearly done yet, and I probably never will be. Check out facepy, though!
$ pip install facebook
Johannes Gorset made this. You should tweet me if you can't get it to work. In fact, you should tweet me anyway.
