Short Answer: No.
Long Answer: Under the Graph API, the
Userretains allApplicationdata specific to their user account. This may be for privacy reasons (to enable a user to confidently delete all of their application data at will, perhaps) or simply because Facebook has found that this relationship model is more efficient. Whatever the reason, queries on theApplicationobject can not be made to “get all Users”. Another way to look at it would beUser–has-many–>Applicationand notApplication–has-many–>User.The workaround we are using involves querying for
User–>Friends, caching the returned list of friend ID’s, and then firing off individualUser–>Application Scoreat each friend. The upside is that it works, while the downsides are that it takes more time, wastes effort querying friends who either don’t play our game or don’t share their game data, and causes some of our users to bump up against Facebook’s 600-in-600 queries-per-second limit.
