Question

Is there a way to use the Graph API to retrieve a the photos in a public album from Facebook? Is it possible to do without supplying an access token? If not, is it possible to do without having an access token that expires in 60 days (seems to be the default expiration time).

If I am embedding a Facebook album on a website, I don’t want to have to re-authorize or grab a new access token every 60 days and republish my website.

Thanks

No matter if its public or private , you need to add the access token or the it’ll not return the data .

Here is the example code

$album_id = your album id;
$access_token = 'your token';

$url = "https://graph.facebook.com/{$album_id}/photos?access_token={$access_token}";
$image = json_decode(file_get_contents($url));

foreach($image->data as $img){
echo "<img src='{$img->images[6]->source}' />    ";

}

Just be sure when you are collecting the token you need have the offline_access token bcoz without that the token will expire soon and if you have that offline access too then your token will not expire , not even in 60 days .

Good Luck
