Social Graph API

Hi IH fam,

We would like to integrate networking features into our platform for filmmakers and are looking for suggestions on APIs that may be helpful to jump-start this process for our team. If anyone has any expertise with building a connection system similar to that of Linkedin (1st, 2nd-degree & mutual connections), I'd love to hear from you.

We are looking to do the following:

-When a new user signs up, connect to their Facebook/Gmail account, and suggest connections for them to add to their network. or, to invite their connections to join them on our platform.

-When a user is searching for a filmmaker to hire, show results that have "mutual connections" first.

-The ability to add or remove connections to a user's network.

-the ability to view all connections of a user.

In the future, we will also use this data to be social feeds based on connections activity.

Any advice would be really appreciated. We're hoping to find a straight forward solution that expedites our time to market, and scales with our growth.
