How to retrieve the email id from facebook users

I need to pull the email addresses of all the people who are in my friendlist of facebook.

Is it possible to pull all the email address of my friends using javascript api.

It should be possible to any user, if they provide authentication.

You cannot access the email addresses of a user's friends. You can get their basic public information (user_id, display picture etc.).

To get the email address of these users, they would also have to authorise your application.

you can read the content using by sending a request to the graph api(http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/) in fb with a valid user access token ....

  1. you can retrieve the user access token via javascript SDK

  2. after getting that request the email of that particular user using fb.uimethods

sample code 

FB.api('/', 'POST', {
        batch: [
            { method: 'GET', relative_url: 'me'},
            ...
        ]
    }, function (response) {
        console.log(response);
    });

the request url shuld be something like "https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=user_acess_token" & this will display the basic details about the user ...
