Question

Our website has school info; when users login to our site with Facebook, we’d like to display a few photos of the user’s friends who have attended the school.

The Facepile social plugin will show users who have Liked the school, but that appears to be different from adding the school to your education history. (For example, I haven’t Liked my high school, but it appears in my user info.)

Is there some way to do this using the Graph API or FQL? e.g. given a school’s page ID and a user’s access token, is there some way to query for the user’s friends by school?

Answer 1

Thanks to omalleyt you can use an URL like this to query for all of a user’s friends’ education objects, which include IDs.
