Question

Using an access token with offline_access (which I believe is the ultimate and most powerful extended permission), I can’t seem to access a non-friend album (returns an empty JSON dataset).

However, using my Facebook account, I can view that album in my browser.

I’ve tried using friends_photos extended permission but I still can’t view the album.

Is there a specific Extended Permission that I need to use or you’re just not allowed to view non-friends albums?

Thanks!

Nope, that’s not possible for privacy reasons. They should be your friends in the first place for you to be able to grab any information about them programatically. The extended permission offline_access won’t help for any non-friend stuff.
