title: Getting friend facebook Checkin information
body: <p>I wanted to get friends_checkin information in a App, i requested "user_checkins", "friends_checkins" to get the access token.</p>
  
  <p>When i make a request for me/checkins i get an empty dataset back.</p>
  
  <p>So I thought may be I am doing something wrong in the code so I went to graphapiexplorer on facebook and tried there
  First i requested an access token for the same permissions and then tried it, there still i get an empty dataset
  {  "data": [  ]}</p>
  
  <p>I have checked (atleast what ever I could) on the account (I am using mine and my friend's account for verification) that my friend's account has all possible settings to share checkin information.</p>
  
  <p>So now my questions are
  Is it possible to get Friends checkin information (facebook help seems to say yes)?
  What settings are there to allow a friend to see my checkin information or vice versa?
  Are there examples which do the same?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: A follow up question:
  If the above is not possible, one alternate I was thinking was to get a list of friends and then for each friend get their checkin information. Would this work? If yes then how, because a simple re query with //checkins did not work (obviously it will not, because the friend has not logged in and allowed my app to get that information). What are the other ways I can make this work.</p>
