I use

api.msappspace.com/opensocial/v1/OWNER/friends

in two of my apps which are now broken.

The xml returned includes a a friends count -

<friends count="1">

This used to be the total number of friends the user had

but now appears to be the number returned in the xml.

My two apps rely on knowing the total number of friends

profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=105324

profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=106734

 - I already have over 100 messages saying the apps are broken... and there are 50,000+ current installs between the apps....

Please fix asap

Thx

Eddie

Edit - make that three apps - 

profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=104439

also needs total friends.....

 Hi Eddie,

 We are aware of the issue and have a fix in progress. We'll update the thread once it goes out.

Appears to be fixed now - hope so

Cheers

Not sure if this is / was linked but (pointed out by a user)

The call for the users top friends does not pull back all the top friends - it is just pulling back the top 20.

It used to pull them all back in one go - up to 40.

Could you fix it back to how it used to work?

This is possibly affecting up to 100,000 with my apps alone

Thanks 

Eddie

 Hi Eddie,

When did this start happening? Also, where in your applications are you making this call, i only see calls to get all friends. By the way your "flash random apps" is making a call per friend to the friends end point with page size set to 1. That's probably not the most efficient way of doing things.

I mean "Flash Random Friends Slider", not "flash random apps" :).

Apps making the top friends call are:

• Flash Top Friends Slider - 88,000+ users
• Top Freunde Diashow - 15,000+ users (German equivalent created on request and with help from the German Myspace team and currently top german app)

Getting 40 may not help as not everyone has the full 40 top friends- will it only give me top friends? Or will it give me 40 friends regardless?

Cheers

Eddie

Half a dozen new messages last night / yesterday so I'd say this bug was brought in very recently

Pls fix ASAP

Cheers

Eddie

 Hi Eddie,

If you specify the page size to be 40 and filter criteria to be top friends, you will get up to 40 of only top friends. Not a full page that includes top friends and backfills with non-top friends. Does that answer your question?

Nikita

Hi Nikita

Thanks but still don't see why I should have to change my code that has been live for 18 months due to a myspace error....

Eddie

Relunctantly changed the code (*4) adding page to the call - seems to work
