I want to retrieve the ID's of all the user's friends.
What permissions do I need and how do I do that? (using either JS or PHP)
I want to eventually create something like this: http://feedsguru.com/onesecret

As far as I know, it's not possible to retrieve friends just anyhow anymore, they removed that. You can retrieve a list of friends, but, only those that have given permissions to your app.
Here is the specification: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/friends/
The only way to circumvent this would be to look through the users photos and get the people tagged in their pictures.

Thanks, looking through users photos seems like a nice solution for now! – user3160630 Jun 13 '16 at 08:59

I think this is the way to do it. I was also exploring this part.

friendlist only gets you the lists, not the friends. and /me/friends only gets you friends who authorized your app too. – andyrandy Jun 13 '16 at 09:24
