Facebook Graph API: search people by city – Facebook api

I’m trying to find people either from particular city or who live in that city. Is there an API for this purpose?

When I use Facebook page, I can type in “People who live in Rome, Italy” (which is translated to URL https://www.facebook.com/search/115353315143936/residents/present) and it shows me all people who currently live in Rome. Using web page I can also search people by name and then add additional filter by city.

Can I do something similar with Graph API?

    You can only search by name with the API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api#search – there is no way to get the same kind of search than on facebook.com.
