Is there a way to get the viewers total number of friends using API in an iframe? 

you can make a call like this:

http://opensocial.myspace.com/roa/09/people/myspace.com.person.xxxxxxxx/@friends?count=100

where the userID goes into the x placeholder spot.

thanks,

That only pulls up to 100 for me.  If I have over 100 friends it comes back with 100 not the total.

If I have 590 friends I see only 100, I want to be able to get the total 590.

You can do something like this to page the results (you don't need to use all the params as in this specific example, however):

http://opensocial.myspace.com/1.0/people/@me/@friends?ts=1282242493190&filterBy=hasapp&filterOp=equals&filterValue=false&startIndex=1&count=20

thanks,

I am trying to get a total so I can calculate the number of total pages I need to display all the users friends like the page_1 page_2 page_3.... links at the top.  example 586 /100 I would place pages 1-6 at the top for people to select the one they want.

Is there a way just to get the total friends as one varilablethat I could then use to calculate the total of pages of friends the viewer has.

Is there also any way to sort the people, by online or by last login?

 When you make the call I mentioned above, what api response do you get? It should indicate paging if the total is beyond the number requested in the call.

thanks,

Joel

Isn't one of the fields returned (at the end) called

'totalresults'

which holds the total number of friends regardless of page size?

 It should, indeed.

Right you are, there was the total total at the end.  I hadn't noticed it thanks

 Cool.

thanks,

Joel
