you can not store facebook Images url for a long time, it expires for security purpose, so it would be a better solution to store images in your server.
An expiring link, also called signed URL, is a link to a file or object that is limited in time. Once it expires, the link is no longer valid. This has to advantage that the link cannot be used on another site since it expires in any given time by the rightful owner of the link.
What i came to know from other community about this issue is
"You should not store Facebook CDN URLs for long time use – they can change over time.
Either request the actual image and copy that to your server – or request the current CDN URL regularly.
(You might be tempted to try other workarounds, like extracting the actual image source URL from the CDN link, but I would advise against that – because the format of that might change at any time as well.)"
