I am building an app using Facebook Graph API v.20.
The first thing it needs to do is to export the complete list of friends from the user (ID, name and picture) to a CSV file.
Is this possible?
Short answer: No.
The Graph API v2.0 reference documentation implies that your app will only be able to access (through the API, at least) those of the user's friends who have themselves used your app and allowed your app to access their own friends list:
Permissions
A user access token with user_friends permission is required to view the current person's friends.
This will only return any friends who have used (via Facebook Login) the app making the request.
If a friend of the person declines the user_friends permission, that friend will not show up in the friend list for this person.
#user664833 pointed out some clarifications to the policy in the comment below:
Effective April 30th, 2014 for Facebook's API v2.0: (1) Friend list is no longer part of the default permission set and has its own permission: Asking for access to a person's friend list is now a separate permission that your app must request. The new permission is called user_friends. (2) Friend list now only returns friends who also use your app: The list of friends returned via the /me/friends endpoint is now limited to the list of friends that have authorized your app. developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog -- URL accessible by FB users registered as developers – user664833 Jun 10 at 5:50
Actually, the URL seems to be public, since I can view it while not logged in. The changelog also explains why some apps can still view all friends, as #SimonCross pointed out:
For apps that existed before April 30th 2014, making an API call without specifying a version number ('unversioned') is equivalent to making a call to the v1.0 of the API.
For apps created on or after April 30th 2014, making an API call without a specifing a version number is equivalent to making a call to v2.0 of the API.
Apps that were inactive or have a creation date on or after April 30th, 2014 will not be able to make calls to v1.0 of the API. They must use v2.0.

I was asked by a potential client if I can have my software interact with Esri/ArcGIS Online.
Use case: users is logged into SomeRandomSoftwareApp and is looking at a Widget, this Widget includes an Esri asset id, the user clicks a link that passes that ID to Esri/ArcGIS Online and behind the scenes the user is logged into Esri and they see the data associated with the Esri/ArcGIS Online.
Thanks, Keith
If I understand correctly, you have two options for this: API Keys or Application Credentials.
The first one, is a permanent token generated by the owner of the data that will allow the application easy access to it. This is still in beta, and it was not ready for use the last time I check some time ago.
The second one, the owner of the data will generate credentials for your application. With this credentials you will have to request a token each time you want to access the data, all this via OAuth 2.0.

The document shows that the r_fullprofile member permission is needed to get the user's organizations field.
I can not find in the document way to get the r_fullprofile permission.
I have already created new developer application.
Question:
How to get permission to fetch user's organization data via API call.
As per my understanding, I have only seen basic and lite profile member permissions.
Currently LinkedIn provides only 3 type of products, which are given below
and the scopes are provided based on these products.
For you requirement, you can opt for the marketing developer program, which will give the permission r_organization_admin
and using this permission, you can use following endpoint to get user's organizations along with roles.
We also did similar things in our app, where we list down user's organizations and user can select them to share their posts from our app.
According to OneNote in the Microsoft Graph API (in Preview) it should be possible to retrieve and access notebooks owned by the user and shared by other users (plus O365 group notebooks).
However, executing https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/notes/notebooks just returns my (owned) notebooks (not the shared ones). So maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but how do I list all notebooks that my user has access to (owned as well as shared) using the Graph API?
Sorry for the confusion, OliverL. We've updated the blog post to clarify that the /me endpoint currently only provides access to the OneNote content that’s owned by the current user.
Soon the /me endpoint will also include OneNote content that others have shared with the current user, and then you'll be able to get a list of shared notebooks. But right now, you can only use the /users/<id> or /users/<userPrincipalName> endpoint to access content that another user (specified in the URL) has shared with the current user.
We'll announce the upcoming change in the OneNote Dev Blog when we release it, and make note of it here too. Thanks for your feedback!
We're using multiple Facebook apps for our product, in V1.0 we used to get the same user id for all apps. We save accounts collection in our db in which we save Facebook id in and creating new accounts for users in which we don't have their FB id already.
Last week we've created a new app, when we started to use it we found out that we're getting a different id for existing users and we're creating a new account for them in our db. (This happened because the new app was created on v2.0 as explained here - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/upgrading#upgrading_v2_0_user_ids)
I read that we can use business manager in order to define all apps and get all the user id for all apps under the same business (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/for-business), but I couldn't find how can I connect these ids to the original id.
I saw a hack that once I have app_scoped_id, I can make a another FB api call to get the original id (Get Facebook User ID from app-scoped User ID) but this means I keep managing the FB ids on our db, is this a good approach? or should I move on to manage the app scope ids? how can I get them for my V1.0 apps before this transition takes place? can I migrate my data in db (when having FB global ids only)? or do I must have a user access token in order to get this info?
Thanks!

Trying to figure out if I can do the following via the box-api.
authenticate as an enterprise admin
lookup a user (in our case a special box user named "group_xxx" where this account will serve as a non-person shared group like "group_math_dept", "group_engineering_dept", etc...).
query for the root folder info for a given user-id (perhaps "GET /users//folders/0"
(tried that it doesn't work).
View the list of enterprise users with whom the given folder has been shared.
Modify the list of enterprise users with whom the given folder has been shared.
What I'd like to do is develop an app to delegate admin of these special group accounts to an appropriate individual in the given group. We can maintain who admins what locally. I can authenticate as one of our Box Admins (i.e. I have working code for steps 1 and 2). However, I don't see support in the API v2.0 doc for steps 3, 4, and 5.
Am I missing anything?
Unfortunately my understanding is the same as what you've found; that account and meta operations like steps 3 through 5 are not currently supported through the API.
UPDATE:
Looking at Box's developers blog it looks like functionality for steps 4 and 5 were actually just added, but are not yet in the documentation.
http://developers.blog.box.com/2012/09/10/v2-api-updates-keep-rolling/
Box actually has some more enterprise/admin API methods in private beta. Those are made accessible to early testers for a controlled environment, and include methods to perform operations on behalf of other users with administrative privileges.
If you're interested, feel free to email api [at] box [dot] com to discuss the testing of beta methods.
