Facebook makes it even easier to interact with Facebook's Graph API.

::

import facebook 

# Query Facebook anonymously
user = facebook.User('johannes.gorset')

user.facebook_id    # => 586052336
user.first_name     # => 'Johannes'
user.last_name      # => 'Gorset'
user.name           # => 'Johannes Gorset'
user.link           # => 'http://facebook.com/johannesgorset'

# Query Facebook on behalf of a user
user = facebook.User('johannes.gorset', oauth_token = oauth_token)

user.permissions        # => ['user_location', 'user_relationships']
user.friends            # => [<User #586052345>, <User #556022345>, <User #586252349>, ...]
user.friends[0].name    # => "John Doe"
user.friends[0].link    # => "http://facebook.com/john.doe"

I'm not nearly done yet, and I probably never will be. Check out facepy <https://github.com/jgorset/facepy>_, though!

Johannes Gorset made this. You should tweet me <http://twitter.com/jgorset>_ if you can't get it to work. In fact, you should tweet me anyway.
