I need to create an input that looks uses autoSuggest to lookup my friends list and send their 'facebook id' to a Django/Python script. I've completes this without a hitch.

Eg: http://f.cl.ly/items/1J0F3i062n1M0a131T3c/Screen%20Shot%202011-10-20%20at%205.34.35%20PM.png

BUT, what to do with this 'facebook id' array on the other side.

Is it possible to loop though this list to invite these users to use a 'Facebook App'?

Thanks in advance.

Canna be done I'm guessing? How does FB assume we get around this if the old school embedded method is looking to be ditched soon. Hmm? –  Danny Moss Oct 21 '11 at 6:12

The common way to achieve this kind of behaviour is using the Requests Dialog, easy, client side javascript implementation. You can read about it in the official facebook docs:


If you want you can call a callback js function after dialog completes handling user input to record what the user did and send it back (via ajax) to your app.
