从Facebook获取朋友数（可能使用api）

Question

I'm used to working with Twitter, where friend/follower totals are available in a simple XML request.

My goal is a simple "enter your username/user id, and display your friends count".

Is there something like this for Facebook? From what I gather, I'll have to make an application, and have anyone who wants to grab their friends total actually install that app from within their own Facebook profile.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Facebook provides an API for developers so you can grab information from Facebook. Check it out at the provided link.

Edit: From your tags, it looks like you are already familiar with the Facebook API. You can use the API with external applications or webpages - it doesn't necessarily need to be used within a Facebook app, if that is what you are asking.
