wtf.. Why screen scrape Facebook from a bookmarklet, when the Graph API gives you all this and more in JSON.

Graph API does not expose phone numbers

I think this is where fbcmd [ http://fbcmd.dtompkins.com/ ] enters. It can do some fancy things scraping has trouble doing. I extracted tel numbers and other info from friends in tidy CSV, downloaded all the photos I was in and more.

you cant have all that informations via the Graph API I think. For example the birthday dates of my friends, I cant have them via the API

Yeah, you can. You can get alot out of the Graph API.

what's really missing is the phone numbers.
