Question

I am uploading an image using the Graph API. The image is successfully uploaded and I get an id as part of the success response. I then take the id that is returned, say 3368124406670, and try to to create a URL of the form:

https://graph.facebook.com/3368124406670

This URL will return just the word “false”.

I have tried variants such as:

• https://graph.facebook.com/id=3368124406670
• https://graph.facebook.com/3368124406670?access_token={my valid access token}
• https://graph.facebook.com?id=3368124406670

I am yet unable to find a URL that will display the image in the browser window. What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE:

Following Alexander’s guidance, I added user_photos permission to the permission list. Now constructing the graph URL and typing it into a browser gives me the following, and all URLs referenced work except for the link (not sure why – I get a “This content is currently unavailable”):

This should be working. Are you getting user_photos permission?
