Question

I have FB post
I can click “77 people like this” and get all people I needed.

Question: is there way to get these people by FB API ?
PS I want to get 3 random names from these list so I need to have these people in JSON format

Answer 1

It’s easy to do with FQL. This gets you three random ids of people who liked this event

SELECT user_id FROM like WHERE object_id = 336638873112346 ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 3

If you wanted to get their names instead, you’d rewrite the query like this:

SELECT uid, name, username FROM user WHERE uid IN 
 (SELECT user_id FROM like WHERE object_id = 336638873112346 ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 3)
