I'd like to be able to tag existing friends using the graph api:
Here's the code I have at the moment. The photo is being uploaded, but the photo isn't tagging the user specified in the user_id:
UIImage *testImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"sendingTo"];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:kFacebookFBConnectAppID, @"app_id",
testImage, @"source",
@"1381470076", @"message_tags",
@"TEST!", @"message", nil];
[self.socialIntegration.facebook requestWithGraphPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"/me/photos?access_token=%@", self.socialIntegration.facebook.accessToken]
andParams:params
andHttpMethod:@"POST" andDelegate:self];
Is the message_tags
attribute not the correct attribute to use?
Thanks!
EDIT From what I see here (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/photo/#tags), it looks like I need to make three calls in total:
ok, figured it out.
Here's how you do it.
First, you upload the image.
UIImage *testImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"sendingTo"];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:kFacebookFBConnectAppID, @"app_id",
testImage, @"source",
@"TEST!", @"message", nil];
[self.socialIntegration.facebook requestWithGraphPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"/me/photos?access_token=%@", self.socialIntegration.facebook.accessToken]
andParams:params
andHttpMethod:@"POST" andDelegate:self];
Next, upon successful upload, the - (void)request:(FBRequest *)request didLoad:(id)result
method will return a dictionary result
with 1 key id
. That ID is the photoID of the photo you just uploaded, which you save into a string:
NSString *photoID = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [(NSDictionary*)result valueForKey:@"id"]];
Then make another GraphAPI request to tag your friends. In the code below I am tagging one specific friends, but to tag multiple friends use CSV string or array:
[self.socialIntegration.facebook requestWithGraphPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/tags/%@?access_token=%@", photoID, @"1381470076", self.socialIntegration.facebook.accessToken]
andParams:nil
andHttpMethod:@"POST" andDelegate:self];
