Question

I need, in a single call, to retrieve multiple images in a facebook stream.

let’s assume that the user token I’m using has the permission to access to all this images, if I need a single image I call:

graph.facebook.com/PICTURE_ID/picture?type=normal&access_token=MY_VALID_TOKEN_HERE
graph.facebook.com/PICTURE_ID_2/picture?type=normal&access_token=MY_VALID_TOKEN_HERE
graph.facebook.com/PICTURE_ID_3/picture?type=normal&access_token=MY_VALID_TOKEN_HERE

… {and so on}

but if I need more images in a single call?
I tried something like:

https://graph.facebook.com/picture?ids=PICTURE_ID_1,PICTURE_ID_2&type=normal&access_token=MY_VALID_TOKEN

but the result was only a single picture… any suggestion? Thanks

I’ve managed to do it, thanks to this tricky FQL it was quite hard at first, however the correct FQL query is this:

fql?q=SELECT pid,src_big FROM photo WHERE object_id IN (12345,23456,34567)&access_token=ACCESSTOKENOFSOMEONEWHOHASACCESSTOTHOSEPHOTOS

beware that object_id is an integer and so it MUST NOT have ” in the where clause.
