iOS 8.3 Facebook SDK 4.1 Retrieve user's Profile Photo Album

Question

I am using Facebook SDK latest version 4.3 in my code. My task is that I have to fetch the complete album of user named Profile Pictures from Facebook's following path: UserProfile-> Photos-> Albums-> Profile Pictures.

To achieve this I have passed the permission for @"public_profile", @"user_photos", etc...

I have searched many links on SO & tried almost all the suitable answers suggested by geeks.

I tried things given here, here, and a lot more...

In my current scenario, I am getting Users Profile Picture (Current), but I need all pictures stored in his Profile Pictures Album. If anyone has any idea, please help.

Answer 1

There's no way to do this in one request as far as I know. You'll need to do two things:

1. Request the albums of the user, and parse the results for the album "Profile Pictures"

   GET /me/albums?fields=id,name&locale=en_US

This returns an JSON like this:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "442898331243456464", 
      "name": "Profile Pictures", 
      "created_time": "2010-12-12T13:35:29+0000"
    }
    ...
  ], 
  "paging": {
    "cursors": {
      "after": "NDQyODk4MzMxMjQz", 
      "before": "MTAxNTA5MjQyNDQ4NDYyNDQ="
    }
  }
}

2. Grab the id of the album with the name "Profile Pictures", and request the photos edge like this:

   GET /442898331243456464/photos

You will receive a JSON obect with the profile pictures. It's possible that you need to paginate through the results if there are more than 25 photos.

first login in facebook after that write following code by which you can get user profile pic from facebook .

  NSMutableDictionary* parameters = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
            [parameters setValue:@"id,name,email,picture" forKey:@"fields"];

            [[[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc] initWithGraphPath:@"me" parameters:parameters]
             startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection,
                                          id result, NSError *error)
            {
                NSLog(@"Your get the result here contain userid, name, email and picture");
             }];
