Question

I’m developing website Facebook application using C#. I can get the information using:

FacebookClient FBApp = new FacebookClient(getAccessToken);
dynamic user = FBApp.Get("/me");

and I can get a user’s friends by:

dynamic friends = FBApp.Get("/me/friends");

All this does not contain any links to the photo. I can get the user photo using the link https://graph.facebook.com/*[user_id]*/picture.

But this shows a very small photo… How can I get the photo in a size similar to the size of the profile photo?

Answer 1

To get a user profile picture of a specific size, call

https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/picture?type=SIZE

where SIZE should be replaced with one of the words

square
small
normal
large 

depending on the size you want.

This call will return a URL to a single image with its size based on your chosen type parameter.

For example:

https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/picture?type=large

returns a URL to a large version of the image.
