I’m writting a small desktop application that prvides access to user’s facebook account. To check how the things work I use Graph API Explorer. When I’m trying to get a list of my friends everything goes as expected, by when I’m trying to get list of my friend friends, then Graph API Explorer says 

(#604) Can't lookup all friends of <id_here>. Can only lookup for the logged in user or the logged in user's friends that are users of your app.

There’s a question: is there a way to obtain my firend (lets name him Peter) firends list without requiring Peter to use my app (just because Peter doesn’t want to use it)?

P.S. I use access token generated in Graph API Explorer if it makes any sense.
P.P.S I use the following GET request to obtain friens list:

https://graph.facebook.com/<Peter's_id>/friends?access_token=<generated_token>

Thanks in advance.

    No, as the message says you can only lookup friends of someone who has authorised your app.
