This is restriction of same origin policy
you can’t do this with jquery

Proxy script:

<?php 
echo file_get_contents("http://graph.facebook.com/".$_GET['atr']);
?>

Modified jS:

$(document).ready( function() {

    var arr = 1101892195;
    var url = 'proxy.php?atr=' + arr;

    $.getJSON(url, function(data) {
        var items = [];
        $.each(data, function(key, val) {
            items.push('li id="' + key + '"' + val + '/li');
        });
        $('ul', {
            'class': 'my-new-list',
            html: items.join('')
        }).appendTo('body');
    });

});
