Facebook - Changing a photo caption via graph api

Question

How to change a caption of an image on Facebook in PHP via graph api? This is the way I used to upload it:

$facebook->api_client->photos_upload($file,$aid,'some caption',$uid);

Any hints? Thanks.

Answer 1

NO, Its not possible to change caption of image using API.

Answer 2

The Open Graph API does not allow such an option.

It is possible to upload the photo with a new caption, but it looks as if the user has to approve the addition of a photo to his album, and I'm not sure that part is automatable.

Answer 3

You can't update captions on Facebook. They're quite rigid about that. You can upload a caption, but if it includes a link, it will be "red flagged" as spammy and your app might be taken down. The way they want you to do it is provide a text area for the user to fill out, and then upload that to Facebook. Essentially, have some user-moderated flow that allows someone to add or customize the caption input.

After it's uploaded, there's absolutely no way to change it.
