Get all photos of a page using Facebook API

Question

I am new to Facebook API but I have to get all photos from a Facebook page. I managed to get a graph api query that returns all pictures of only the first ever created album on the page which is the profile picture album. For example:

https://graph.facebook.com/227843870675663/photos

But I need to do the same for all other existing albums in the page. Any pointers are really appreciated.

Answer 1

try this and let me know how it goes for you, I've successfully pulled all photos.

1. Ensure that you are an Admin of the Facebook Page.

2. go to : http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer

3. In the API Navigator, you can see "/me" will bring up the basic information of yourself.

4. Try typing in "/me/accounts" to see if you can see anything. It should give you an error.

5. Click on "Get Access Token"

6. a window will pop-up. Navigate to "Extended Permissions"

7. Select "manage_pages"

8. Click "Get Access Token"

9. Now try "/me/accounts" again. You should see a list of Pages inside the viewing window.

10. Select the Page you want, and click on the "id" field

11. Next, on the left window, you can see "Node: " and a + sign. Click on the + sign to see what are the options you have.

12. Click on the + sign and scroll down to "connections" and select "Albums"

13. The child-level, select "Photos"

14. The "Photos" child-level, select "source"

15. Now click "Submit" on the right hand side. You will see a JSON returned with the url of all the photos in your selected Facebook Page.

16. Copy the URL - https://graph.facebook.com/?fields=albums.fields(photos.fields(source)) and plug it into your browser. You should see a JSON of all your photos, and its corresponding url on Facebook's CDN.

Answer 2

When you get your Facebook user, you can:

• get the list of all its albums
• get the user's profile picture
• get the photos the user (or friend) is tagged in

They respectively need those permissions:

• user_photos or friends_photos
• not needed
• user_photos or friends_photos

UPDATE:

If you want to get those information from a Facebook page:

• Photos - The Page's uploaded photos.
• Albums - The photo albums the Page has uploaded.

Permissions are: any valid access_token or user access_token
