Facebook API – looking to get friends list that I can access normally access logging into facebook

Issue

This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by user20028326

This is my first question on stack overflow so please cut me some slack. I’m looking for API which would allow me to get the following which I can already lookup when I login to facebook.com

  1. Get list of friends a user has. This user can me me, my friends on facebook, friends of my friends whose friends list I can access when I lookup their profile through facebook.com

What I tried :

  1. I looked up documentation on https://developers.facebook.com/ it says getting a users friends list is now not available
  2. I looked up network tab when opening friends list of my friends I can see the the results returning through https://www.facebook.com/api/graphql/ with some form data which looks like its using graphQL query.

Since I can see the data returning in the network tab, I was wondering if anyone knows how I can interpret this API. Or does anyone know what API I can use to get this data ?

Since I can see the data in the dev tools anyway, was thinking there might be some way I can make this API call
