I know both the old Facebook REST API and the new Graph API fairly

  • 0

I know both the old Facebook REST API and the new Graph API fairly well. Through the graph api and given maximum permissions I can request a user’s photos (its my app and my account):

client.Get("/me/photos");

This returns an array of json encoded graph api photos. The only problem is that it’s not the total number of photos in the account. I checked this by painstakingly counting my facebook photos AND comparing it against a simple call from the old REST API:

select pid from photo where aid in (select aid from album where owner=me())

(the above from memory, but what I had worked well)

My count and the REST API confirm that the graph API is NOT returning all the photos in the account (I know about paging as well).

Does anyone know why this is? Also, does anyone know how to convert an old REST API pid (photo id) to a new GRAPH API unique ID. It’s the only way I can think of to get all the photos.

    FQL is still available in the Graph API

    https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=select pid from photo where aid in (select aid from album where owner=me())

    Also, there’s another property called object_id on the photo fql table which should correspond (if memory serves) to the id in the photo api table
