fire FQL using JQuery or JQuery Mobile

Question

I have seen examples of fetching data using FQL with the help of PHP Facebook SDK , but is it possible to fire FQL query using Javascript or Jquery as i want to fetch online friend list in jquery mobile.

Answer 1

You can do it with FB.api method of JavaScript SDK

FB.api('/fql', 'GET', {q:'YOUR_FQL_QUERY'}, function(response){
  if (response && response.data)
    console.log(response.data);
});

Answer 2

Facebook has an extensive JavaScript SDK, which will offer you what you need.

Once you have authenticated the client, you should use the FB.api() method to launch an API request. In particular, you should be considering the online_presence of your users' friends (in the user table).
