Question

Good morning fellows,
I am having an issue with facebook api:
is it possible to upload a photo from an external source? For instance, point out an URL and the Facebook will get that…
My code is right next

$args = array(
'message' => 'Photo from application',
'source' => $im_url
);

$url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/'.$album_id.'/photos?access_token='.$token;

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

the $im_url should point out to an external picture, like store on imageshack,etc.
The error it gives me is {"error":{"message":"(#324) Requires upload file","type":"OAuthException"}}

Answer 1

Instead of “source”, the term is “url”. Problem solved
$args = array(
'message' => 'Photo from application',
'url' => $im_url
