Is there a way to get the public profile data ( Name, age, Gender) for any facebook user. I know Previously we can just use this - http://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID?fields=id,name,gender,link,picture&type=large

But Now they have changed their API. Is it still possible?

I would like to do it in R and use rfacebook ! Any idea experts?

No, there is no way, for privacy reasons. You can only get data of a user by authorizing that user with the correct permissions. name, age and gender are available with basic permissions.

They changed it with v2.0 of the Graph API (April 30, 2014).
