Can I set a users profile image using the Facebook API?

Question

I'm looking for a user.setImage call or something to that effect on the Facebook API but I can't see anything to achieve this: specifically to overwrite a user's profile image (not just post an image on their wall).

I can't see anything in the docs. Do you know if this is possible and if so any docs on implementing it?

Answer 1

You can redirect the user to the following link where [PID] stands for the id of the desired picture:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=[PID]&makeprofile=1 

On this page the user will see the picture and immediately be prompted with a dialog if he wants to set it as his profile picture.

Answer 2

No, you cannot.

From the photos.Upload documentation:

However, you cannot upload to a user's profile picture album.
