Question

I am having trouble trying to request the large version of the users profile picture on Facebook.. in my graph path I’m doing:

NSString *requestPath = @"me/?fields=first_name,last_name,gender,email,birthday,verified,picture";

The picture field in there only gives me the small version of the profile picture, but i need the large and the normal version.. i already tried changing picture to picture_large, pic_large, image_large but none of this works..

Please, i already read the documentations, so don’t bother answering if you plan on telling me to read it again.. I’m asking this here because i already searched everywhere and couldn’t find a solution.

Thanks,
Newton

You can just use:

http://graph.facebook.com/USER/picture?type=large

Where USER can be either the user id or the user name.

That returns a redirect to the static image url, as written in the User object documentation:

HTTP 302 redirect to URL of the user’s profile picture (use
?type=square | small | normal | large to request a different photo).
