'Search for FB User ID from an Email ID - like in MS Outlook 2010 Social Connect Plugin
Is there any method to search for FB User ID from email Address ?
Am developing a site where I would like to show the User Profile Pic based on his Email address - if the person is registered and the Profile Pic is made public.
Have tried searching - but am unable to get to any solution - where we can search for User ID - based on Email ID.
It is like how the Social Connect Plugin functions for Outlook 2010.
Thanx !

You can use the following graph API call: /[email protected]&type=user
However, it appears this functionality may have a bug in it. See: Facebook Graph API "search" by email suddenly stopped working

The solution is bit tricky now, you can use the friends importer from a Google account, and populate your Google contact via the Google API !
I have setup a bot to to this automatically, but I cannot share it with you, sorry, you have to write ur own^^
