Question

I am having serious issues trying to use the Javascript API for facebook. I currently have a somewhat functioning facebook login, and I want to be able to get all of the photos from the current user, and have them displayed in a strip. I am pretty new to Javascript, so I was wondering if somebody has gotten this to work, or what would be the best way to accomplish this, preferably without using the deprecated FQL.

Answer 1

There is a 5000 item limit for FQL queries, but that should cover a good amount of the photos you are looking to get:

var query = 'SELECT src_big FROM photo WHERE aid IN(SELECT aid FROM album WHERE owner = me())';

FB.api('fql', {'q': query}, function(res) {
    console.log(res.data);
});

Then you can loop through that result set and add the photos to the document (using jQuery in this sample loop:

var body = $(document.body);

for(var i in res.data) {
   body.append('<img src="' + res.data[i].src_big + '" />');
}
