Some facebook friends' birthdays returning as null but I have the correct API permissions
- by Andrei Radulescu
I'm tring to get my friends' birthdays in my app and some of them are null. I thought that those people don't have a birthday set, but they actually do.
My fql query is:
SELECT uid,name,birthday_date FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid2 from friend where uid1=me())
My app has the "friends_birthday" permission set.
I also tried with "birthday" instead of "birthday_date". Same result.
I imagine that this happens because they opted out somehow, but I don't know how.
Is there an alternate solution to actually get their birthdays from facebook?
Thanks!
