    Limits - getFriends, others?

    I'm using the PHP SDK and finding that:

    1) I can only return 100 friends at a time per page when calling getFriends().

    2) Using the pagination returned from getFriends() I can only retrieve a maximum of 5,000 friends.

    After that I get:

     HTTP/1.1 404 Resource# 28387453 not found

    Can someone confirm that this is a limitation?  I need to pull a list of friends for someone that has more than 10,000.

     Is there any documentation on rate limits, per day limits, etc. for the use of the API?  In particular, can I check to see if 2 people are friends as many times as I want in a given day?

     Thanks.

     Hi CrowdTwist,

     

    There is a rate limit of 100 friends per day.

     

    thanks,

     Joel, thanks for responding.  Can I ask you to clarify what you mean?  I can call getFriends() and get more than 100 friends per day right now.  Do you mean you can't add more than 100 per day? Or you can't check more than 100 per day using the API in real time to determine if 2 users are friends?

     Furthermore, is there any way to get the full list of a user's friends if they have more than 5,000?  Can I get all 14,000 friends in one shot?

     Any help here would be great!

     Sorry, it is 100 items per page, and 5,000 items per api call. I am afraid there is no method available to exceed the 5,000 limit, unfortunately. I shall bring this up to our team, however.

     

    thanks,

    Joel
