how to get friends birthday in v2.0 facebook API - any alternate way

Question

I need help. We all know that in v2.0 all permissions of friends_* are removed.

But still is there any way to get birth date of friends who also use you

Answer 1

With Graph API v2.0, all friends_* permissions have been removed (as you wrote): https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_0_permissions

So, there's no way to get the birthday of the User's friends via the Graph API anymore.

Answer 2

i dont know if this could help you but i think it could be worth a try. there is the possibility to subscribe to facebooks friend calender api via a link: e.g "webcal://www.facebook.com/ical/b.php?uid=10001111111&key=AQDcQxnFPn7Sb9WridI" - you can add this to google calender, ical or other. via this subscription you can receive all the info you need. as we have the same issue with our application we will try to figure out a way how to retrieve and use this information. anyways i dont know if it is an option for your app.
