how to get large pictures from photo album via facebook graph api
- by Nav
I am currently using the following code to retrieve all the photos from a user profile
FB.api('/me/albums?fields=id,name', function(response) {
//console.log(response.data.length);
for (var i = 0; i < response.data.length; i++) {
var album = response.data[i];
FB.api('/' + album.id + '/photos', function(photos) {
if (photos && photos.data && photos.data.length) {
for (var j = 0; j < photos.data.length; j++) {
var photo = photos.data[j];
// photo.picture contain the link to picture
var image = document.createElement('img');
image.src = photo.picture;
document.body.appendChild(image);
image.className = "border";
image.onclick = function() {
//this.parentNode.removeChild(this);
document.getElementById(info.id).src = this.src;
document.getElementById(info.id).style.width = "220px";
document.getElementById(info.id).style.height = "126px";
};
}
}
});
}
});
but, the photos that it returns are of poor quality and are basically like thumbnails.How to retrieve larger photos from the albums.
Generally for profile picture I use ?type=large which returns a decent profile image
but the type=large is not working in the case of photos from photo albums
and also is there a way to get the photos in zip format from facebook once I specify the photo url as I want users to be able to download the photos.
