Facebook FQL Query Event_member "Inviter" and "Inviter_type"

Question

The description of the FQL page event_member says that the inviter column should tell us about the user ID or the page that invited the UID to the event, and inviter_type should tell us if the inviting user or page was. I tried these functions both for public events, and for an event that I created myself, but it always fails.

"inviter": null and "inviter_type": "" for each user.

Is this a bug, an old function that doesn't work anymore, or a new function that doesn't work yet?

Answer 1

It seems that you are only allowed to know who invited you and how.

The only command that will make the inviter and inviter_type useful:

 select eid, uid, inviter, inviter_type, rsvp_status from event_member where eid=EVENT_ID and uid=me() 

In this case, you are definitely looking for the person who invited you to the event to which you were invited!

Result:

 { "data": [ { "eid": 3811052099231, "uid": 1022369839, "inviter": 1406101549, "inviter_type": "user", "rsvp_status": "attending" } ] }
