Facebook – Printing friends list off Facebook with just their names

facebookfriend-listfriendsprinting

Is there a way to print your Facebook Friends List? Not their information, just the names on your list.

It would make it much easier to see who you lost when your amount of friends changes if you could have a list of who you are friends with. After you have so many, it is hard to determine.

Using the API is an option when tied into a Facebook app. 

SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1=me()

That query will only produce user IDs, but that would solve your problem. You can also use the graph API to expand on that if you pick up your own access token.

This query will allow you to find usernames for each ID. Alternatively, you could use the full API to write your own script that will pull a JSON string for you. More details in the link below.

SELECT name FROM profile WHERE id=XXXXXXXX
