GetFriendsList has been broken in Unreal since 5.1 released.

Every combination of inputs for this request through blueprints returns an error. It has been this way for months. Worked before upgrading to 5.1 Request:

LogPlayFab: Request: { "ExternalPlatformFriends": "All", "IncludeFacebookFriends": false, "IncludeSteamFriends": false, "XboxToken": null }

Response:

LogPlayFab: Response : {"code":400,"status":"BadRequest","error":"InvalidParams","errorCode":1000,"errorMessage":"Invalid input parameters","errorDetails":{"":["Only one of the following properties can be defined: IncludeFacebookFriends, ExternalPlatformFriends","Only one of the following properties can be defined: IncludeSteamFriends, ExternalPlatformFriends"]}}

We have reported this issue to the team. As a workaround, you can modify the code from line 6100 to line 6109 in Marketplace\PlayFabSDK\Source\PlayFab\Private\PlayFabClientAPI.cpp to the following code and rebuild the plugin:

 if (GetEnumValueToString&lt;EExternalFriendSources&gt; (TEXT("EExternalFriendSources"), request.ExternalPlatformFriends, temp_ExternalPlatformFriends))
     {
         if(temp_ExternalPlatformFriends!="None")
         OutRestJsonObj-&gt;SetStringField(TEXT("ExternalPlatformFriends"), temp_ExternalPlatformFriends);
     }
            
     if(request.IncludeFacebookFriends)
     OutRestJsonObj-&gt;SetBoolField(TEXT("IncludeFacebookFriends"), request.IncludeFacebookFriends);
     if(request.IncludeSteamFriends)
     OutRestJsonObj-&gt;SetBoolField(TEXT("IncludeSteamFriends"), request.IncludeSteamFriends);

Note that the code above is missing a ">".

It should be

C++
if (GetEnumValueToString(TEXT("EExternalFriendSources"), request.ExternalPlatformFriends, temp_ExternalPlatformFriends))
     {
         if(temp_ExternalPlatformFriends!="None")
         OutRestJsonObj->SetStringField(TEXT("ExternalPlatformFriends"), temp_ExternalPlatformFriends);
     }
            
     if(request.IncludeFacebookFriends)
     OutRestJsonObj->SetBoolField(TEXT("IncludeFacebookFriends"), request.IncludeFacebookFriends);
     if(request.IncludeSteamFriends)
     OutRestJsonObj->SetBoolField(TEXT("IncludeSteamFriends"), request.IncludeSteamFriends);
