Using facebook javascript sdk to process fql query

Question

I have just put implemented Facebook connect on my web-site using the JavaScript SDK. Now I would like to process an fql query.

So I have two questions:

Answer 1

Sorry I can't comment yet but to clarify this helpful answer; what worked for me was formatting the FQL API call the same way I would a Graph API call with {fields: "ex1,ex2"}:

var fqlRequest = "SELECT name FROM user WHERE uid = me()";
FB.api("/fql",{q:fqlRequest}, function(response){
    // do cool stuff with response here
});

Note that I did NOT have to URL encode the string and it worked fine for me (I had used encodeURI(fqlRequest) before and it returned an unexpected % error).

Also remember to quote literals if you use them:

var id = "1234567890";
var fqlRequest = "SELECT name FROM user WHERE uid = ' " + id + " ' ";
