Hi, I have changed my logic to fetch 100 users at a time using statuses/friends call. And passing cursor parameter everytime after one call recursively. But this process is becoming very slow and it is taking very long time to fetch the records & getting terminated suddenly. What you people suggest in order to export the data with lesser number of calls & speedily even though user is having more number of friends?
