Launching friends birthday using facebook graph api v2.0

In version 1.0, it was possible to request permissions, allowing the app to see a limited amount of friends' data, such as whether they like each other, birthdays, etc.

In version 2.0, all permissions have been removed. An application cannot see data from friends-friends, unless those friends are also logged into the application and have not granted permission to view this application.

Now the problem is how can we get friends for our birthday. I use user_friends permissions, which provide me with a list of friends with their ID, first name, patronymic, gender, but not birthday.

This is not a problem in the first place. Facebook changed its policy. From now on Facebook will only provide

  • user_email
  • public profile
  • Friends list (only friends using the app)


If you need information other than this, you need to request permission from Facebook. also where do you need all the data and for what purpose you need to tell it. Also you need to download the app to view. If your application is right, they will let you.
