Facebook API Search by Phone Number

Question

So, I have a huge list of phone numbers and you want to find facebook users for each of the phone numbers, if they exist. There are many iphone apps, etc. that pull in your contact list and map them to facebook accounts. Any ideas on how I can do this?

Thanks in advance.

You will need to call the API login () function with the permission "user_mobile_phone". Then you can restore it as usual.

Here is the FB dev post and examples of this:
