How to retrieve user's birthday data via Facebook Graph API 2.8?

I wonder if it's possible to obtain user's birthday via Facebook Graph API 2.8. I am using Graph API Explorer and it requests me to put {user-id}. Can I retrieve the birthday information only knowing the user's name and surname? How should I specify the query? For example, GET/v2.8/"NameSurname"

All my attepts to write a request are finishing with this error:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: \"NameSurname\"",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 803,
    "fbtrace_id": "FRE/aemzTRL"
  }

}

UPDATE:

I was able to only retrieve the data for myself using something like me?fields=name,email,gender. But is it possible to get the same data for another person knowing his/her name and surname?

You can only get data of users who authorized your App, by using their Access Token with /me?fields=name,email,gender,birthday

You need to authorize them with the email and user_birthday permissions, btw.
