Hi All,
I need to access all the friends for a user by sending the user id. I checked out the link http://api.hi5.com/soap_ns1_FriendApiService.html. It is displaying empty page. Is there any method to retrieve friends ?

are you writing an opensocial app or just trying to access our rest API directly?
For the former, you use opensocial methods in your app , there's a good tutorial here: http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/articles/tutorial/tutorial-0.7.html
For the latter, you can access an atom feed like this: http://api.hi5.com/rest/feed/friends/1000
You need to authenticate first, which is covered in a PHP example in this blog post: http://www.hi5networks.com/developer/2007/10/hi5-platform-via-php-part-1.html
If you need an API key please send an email to api-request@hi5.com and we'll get you one.

Thanks for the reply.
I am trying the Rest API directly. I have sent an email for the API key request. Hope i will get the api key soon.
Thanks

I'm actually having the same problem with the rest API, here: http://api.hi5.com/rest_.feed.friends.%7BuserId%7D.html
I just get a blank response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 0
Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2008 06:44:51 GMT
If I try in XML (rest), it's the same empty body. Would it be a server-side bug?

is that fixed already?
because calling /feed/friends/{userId} for both xml or json I still get an empty response with 200 in a header.
( http://api.hi5.com/json/feed/friends/350993014?Hi5AuthToken=VALID_TOKEN )
how should I call this REST api to get my friends list?

That api has been deprecated, although it was never meant to get you your friends list, it was for getting friend updates. To get them now, please use opensocial endpoint instead: /social/rest/activities/....
To get the list of your friends, there are couple of methods, one is to use "foaf" endpoint that still works, and the second - user opensocial "people" endpoint
