Does anyone have a script for integrating with Facebook and grabbing whose birthdays are today? I'd really like to automate it, but this info isn't available via the Graph API, so I kind of gave up on this, but if someone else has done this, I'd love to take a look.



You can export friends' birthdays to an ical feed - see here:

From there you have a lot of options, but what I did is have it feed into my Google Calendar and read it via the Google Calendar API.


I had, but ~2 years ago they took out that feature from the graph api :( It sent out bday wishes to my friends automagically.


You can export your friends birthdays to a calendar from the bottom right of the Events page, if that's what you're looking for. It stays updated from there.

https://www.facebook.com/events/


You can get the freely available ical(?) link for your birthday events in the events section. No api necessary beyond the URL.

I used this to integrate it into my Google calendar.
