This question has popped up a few times already. I want to retrieve the cover photo of the facebook timeline via the graph api.
The answer that I have seen mentioned everywhere is that it is not possible. However I came across a site http://www.timelinemoviemaker.com/ which does indeed retrieve your cover photo of the timeline. Is there any special permission granted to the site to access the cover photo? Or have they used some other method to retrieve the cover photo. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

To see an album of your past profile or cover photos: From your Feed, tap your profile picture in the top right. Scroll down and tap Photos, then tap Albums at the top. Tap Profile Pictures or Cover Photos.
It could be due to a copyright violation or that the photo was deemed to be “promotional.” Although Facebook removes the photo from the cover position, it doesn't actually delete the photo itself. To ensure your cover photo stays put, take a minute to check out the full guidelines: All covers are public.
Pages are a way for businesses, brands and public figures to connect with their fans on Facebook. If you don't have a Page, you can add a cover photo for your personal profile. You can create a cover slideshow for your Page that contains multiple photos and displays above your Page's timeline.
Now you can access to the cover picture with the api.
