## Fetch the social graph You can see who follows whom by calling the `friends.stream` method. It will provide an object of `{ userId => [followedIds] }`. ```js sbot.friends.stream(function (err, graph) { // ... }) ``` ```bash sbot friends.stream ``` Example output: ```json { "@ptAi6iWwMtqkbpO6YEsLXhucEZkqDgmffCCE0HZYXmk=.ed25519": { "@8HsIHUvTaWg8IXHpsb8dmDtKH8qLOrSNwNm298OkGoY=.ed25519": true, "@uRECWB4KIeKoNMis2UYWyB2aQPvWmS3OePQvBj2zClg=.ed25519": true, "@hxGxqPrplLjRG2vtjQL87abX4QKqeLgCwQpS730nNwE=.ed25519": true, "@ye+QM09iPcDJD6YvQYjoQc7sLF/IFhmNbEqgdzQo3lQ=.ed25519": true }, "@N8xBJlwMzP/eKNz50i0Eq81qtg/S70YkifNA0mBzbKE=.ed25519": { "@D0GsAaMyt96Ze3q1YiiuzWhPkyou2fVTUgw8Xr+G7Jo=.ed25519": true }, "@QgHY6P7NGW9qFJVjAMl36EkapanG3iyjCBo+8/ZwXTY=.ed25519": { "@uRECWB4KIeKoNMis2UYWyB2aQPvWmS3OePQvBj2zClg=.ed25519": true } } ``` ## 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.
(a "friend of a friend") - etc ```js sbot.friends.hops(userId, function (err, list) { // ... }) ``` ```bash sbot friends.hops {userId} ``` Example output: ```json { "@hxGxqPrplLjRG2vtjQL87abX4QKqeLgCwQpS730nNwE=.ed25519": 0, "@jpq43ybzjW+u2lABZCPD8OVVvp85CKeY4qSlXTA31j4=.ed25519": 1, "@V/0ZcEFyPagUhs6Cqc9Su98rpzna4zBRXXbAZOtF6p4=.ed25519": 1, "@Tc/1cgullpQYaQk/JKNwDAsfniVADcU9lulwYXrGsos=.ed25519": 1, "@GLH9VPzvvU2KcnnUu2n5oxOqaTUtzw+Rk6fd/Kb9Si0=.ed25519": 1, "@6ilZq3kN0F+dXFHAPjAwMm87JEb/VdB+LC9eIMW3sa0=.ed25519": 1, "@9sCXwCJZJ9doPcx7oZ1gm7HNZapO2Z9iZ0FJHJdROio=.ed25519": 2, "@GslEFXx7Oz3ooO6z4+6JRzdtKpzeNqb4aYv8M9wGqoU=.ed25519": 2, "@yARQ14OOZXgI8OU8UsgQhZSSmzPbuwCgC5gXxmRAhkE=.ed25519": 2, "@bCbTcYMmSwYbbiDBUnSbhobzYnayKesq0LNmTDSvR6Y=.ed25519": 2, "@v4pOKqdvSpv/Rm/Eb+g5gCfsBXVVzKbmMT/F6IW7lds=.ed25519": 2, "@+gpZcBi1p1E2omC9L3bXUWduYWfrUZqwWcednMxy+Rw=.ed25519": 3, "@OweKXqiKl49z9pzp764z0xvzOfHqTacYxuLubLzrCgQ=.ed25519": 3 } ```
