If you're comfortable with X Terminal, I could send you some code so we can see what Facebook sends (in terms of bytes) and what Contacts reports (in terms of bytes).

BTW, if I register account to garage.maemo.org, could I snap the Hermes source code? If yes, maybe I could have chance to check this when I'm free...:P
To download it you don't even need a Garage account, just git pull from the master:

https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=1071

The current HEAD is in a bit of a broken state whilst Fredrik Wendt and I work on a large scale refactoring of the current services to better adapt to services which have had code hacked in like LinkedIn, Gravatar and Hyves; and future services like Plaxo, Orkut etc; however names.py is where identifier normalisation happens.

No problem, please send to me.

But I add " print friend[attrs[1]]" in lib/hermes.py

# Get the list of friends...
attrs = ['uid', 'name', 'pic_big', 'birthday_date', 'profile_url', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'website']
for friend in self.fb.users.getInfo(self.fb.friends.get(), attrs):
print friend[attrs[1]] ## Legis
key = unicode(friend['name']).encode('trans')
self.friends[key] = friend
self.friends_by_url[friend['profile_url']] = friend
friend['pic'] = friend[attrs[2]]
friend['account'] = 'facebook'
if friend['website']:
friend['homepage'] = friend['website']
if not friend['pic']:
self.blocked_pictures.append(friend)

The name is correct. Still check...should be key issue.

What is the difference between the code on git and the code on N900?

I think I find the root cause.

This code --> key = unicode(friend['name']).encode('trans')

lib/trans.py does not provide the encode behavior for Chinese character. So most Chinese is translated into the same ascii code. so overwrite.

So I just modify as "key = friend['name']" or key = friend['uid'] to avoid this. But it does not work for "auto match". You must do it by hand.

So unicode to ascii encode for Chinese is the root cause.

If you can find something else useful from that URL, let me know.

Hi

I used hermes to pull contact data from facebook. I noticed though that it does not import people's email addresses from facebook. Is this data unavailable to update via hermes?

The second and third post of this thread explain that Hermes pulls in all the useful information allowed by the Facebook API. Unfortunately, "email address" is not something Facebook offers up.

Other devices that pull in additional information--such as email addresses--do so through some other, private Facebook API. Access to that API would require negotiation with, and likely money given to, Facebook. I'm sure Jaffa would be only to happy to speak with someone about gaining access if anyone here has an "in", but I'm sure he's neither willing nor able to hand over large sacks of money for the privilege, and I don't know if he'd be willing to sign NDAs and take Hermes closed source.

Birthday data doesn't seem to be coming across for me. Any specific reason this might be?

I have enabled new contacts to be created for birthday-only ones, and it pulls and creates contacts just fine.

If it's only some birthdays, the friend may not have exposed their birthday data to third-party applications.

Have we seen any update on this? Looked like Natmaster had the ability to get hermes on the private API.

Also, is it possible to have hermes create new contacts instead of updating the contacts you have? (therefore we would just have to hit "merge" and all of the contacts that aren't in the n900 but ARE on your friends list would be imported)

Sorry, I didn't see this. Yes, if Hermes is permitted - by Facebook - to add email addresses and phone numbers, I'd *love* to add that feature!
