parameter is supported. If I set to this parameter @all value,

A. The fields query parameter is supported in orkut and it can be used
as follows:

But it looks like the orkut REST APIs currently do not support @all as
a value for this parameter.

10. Is 'count' query parameter support by Orkut REST API?

retrieve 2 friends per page:
