title: Facebook Graph API Returns Inconsistent Number of Friends With Facebook Profile
body: <p>I've noticed that using the new Facebook Graph API to fetch friends of users returns a number of friends that is close to, but not always exactly, the number of friends displayed on the user's profile. </p>
  
  <p>Documentation here: <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api</a></p>
  
  <p>For example, on that page, I click on <a href="https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends</a>, and see the JSON for 477 friends, whereas my profile page on facebook shows a count of 478. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know why there is an inconsistency? </p>
