    <p>If you are doing an FQL query based on the uid of your friend, you need to be authorized. Once authorized, you can add the access token granted by the user (in this case, your friend) to your query and have permission to get the results you're querying for.</p> <p>This is because you're trying to fetch data, which in this case being their news feed comprised of posts created by their friends and pages they follow, that belongs to the user, which essentially belongs to them. You need to authorized to be able to access their data or act on their behalf to post photos and such.</p> <p>However, if you're trying to get their own stream of posts that they themselves generate, you can totally get those, assuming that they are public and accessible by their set permissions. You can use a Graph API call:</p> <pre><code>https://graph.facebook.com/&lt;userId&gt;/feed?access_token=&lt;your access token&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'll also throw this in: You can read your own news feed as well with a Graph API call:</p> <pre><code>https://graph.facebook.com/me/home?access_token=&lt;your access token&gt; </code></pre> <p>You just need to make sure you have the 'read_stream' permission. If you try to get the news feed of another user by replacing 'me' with the user id, you'll get an error from Facebook:</p> <pre><code>{ "error": { "message": "You can only access the \"home\" connection for the current user.", "type": "GraphMethodException", "code": 100 } } </code></pre> <p>This further confirms that you can't access another user's news feed unless you have their permission, ie. being granted an access token that belongs to them.</p>

    1. COA user should not have access to the access token for a different user. I'm not trying to act on behalf of my friend, I'm simply trying to get his news feed.

    2. COA user should not, but an app that you are developing can. If you're just trying to get his news feed (posts of his friends that he can view on the home page), it's still a matter of privacy. Even if he makes it all public to everyone, even people he isn't friends with, it's still his own news feed that he alone will have access to via the API and FQL. You can't access it with your own access token. There's no real way to see a friend's own news feed through any normal means. You can only see your own news feed. BUT if you are trying to get their public stream of his own actions, you can.

    3. COI've updated my answer to show that you can get another user's own feed of items that they themselves generate. You still cannot see their personal newsfeed of items generated by their friends and pages they follow.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
