Question

I am able to access my user image from FB with graph api by accessing the user id like so:
https://graph.facebook.com/<USER_ID>/picture

However for my code to work, i need the real path to the image like
http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc6/******_**************_********_q.jpg

FBs doc shows that by adding ?callback=foo i can get an output, but in practice it doesnt seem to work.

any suggestions for getting the full path to my image with that .jpg extension from graph api or with the user id, thank you.

Answer 1

Callback is for javascript requests,

For php,try appending a redirect=false in url.

Do a curl request to,

https://graph.facebook.com/shaverm/picture?redirect=false

If you want to use callback in js,

$.getJSON('https://graph.facebook.com/zuck/picture?callback=?',function (resp) {
    $('body').html(resp.data.url);
});​
