Retrieving a User’s Pending Friend Requests

Problem

I need to retrieve all of the pending friend requests for a specific user using FQL.

Solution

This query will return an empty set if there are no pending requests:

SELECT uid_from FROM friend_request WHERE uid_to = $uid;

Discussion

You can run this query only for the current loggedinuser or you’ll get an “Error 604, Message: Can only lookup friend requests for logged in user” (see 600 Errors for more information).
