Tell me, please, what is the best way to get a list of VKontakte friends?
Will such a request always work without problems, or are there any nuances or a more convenient request?

Do I understand correctly that you do not need to log in or have other permissions to complete the request above?

Answer 1

The request will work. Perhaps if a person's friends are hidden (is this possible now?), Or some profile settings prohibit getting them (the profile is hidden, access to the profile is limited ...?) - there will be problems.
ps checked the request (from the question text) in incognito mode in chrome - everything is ok.
