Hi Can any one help me out here? I'm writing my Final Year Project on Social Media Mining. Trying to get me friends on Facebook with R command get friend...and is returning error:

Error in getFriends(token = token, simplify = TRUE) : No friend information is available. See ?getFriends for more details.

Is this command still working as I can't see or know the issue that cause this.

Thanks to revert soonest.

It seems Facebook has drastically limited the information on a user's friends that can be retrieved via the API. When I tried the Graph API Explorer on https://developers.facebook.com/ hardly any information can be retrieved, no matter which type of token I use.
