In Graph API 2.0

When I using new graph api to access my friends information, I got the message below.

Here, xxx is an user id.

  \"error\"         


        

Answer 1

For apps using API version 2.0 - you can only use the App-Scoped-ID to access data about a user on v2.0+

If you're an existing app upgrading some calls from v1.0 to v2.0 you can continue to use the user IDs you received for your app's users - for non-users of your app you must use the app-scoped ID if you want to access their data, and make the call from the same app which was given that ID

There's more information about how App Scoped IDs work here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_0_graph_api
