Fetch the social graph

You can see who follows whom by calling the friends.all method. It will provide an object of { userId => [followedIds] }.

sbot.friends.all(function (err, graph) {
  // ...
})

sbot friends.all

Example output:

{
  "@ptAi6iWwMtqkbpO6YEsLXhucEZkqDgmffCCE0HZYXmk=.ed25519": {

List degrees-of-connection between users

If you want to find out how connected you (or somebody else) is, you can use the friends.hops method. This will list all known user-ids, and how many social-connections away they are.

For instance:

• Somebody you follow will be 1 hop away.
• Somebody followed by someone you follow will be 2 hops away.<br><small>(a "friend of a friend")</small>
• etc

sbot.friends.hops(userId, function (err, list) {
  // ...
})

sbot friends.hops {userId}
