How to get a facebook profile picture under https?

Question

Is it possible to get an facebook profile picture under https using the new Graph API?

We run a site under https, but the profile picture returned by the facebook Graph

Answer 1

Use link 1 to get a high resolution image, link 2 to get an icon sized image where 'xxxx' refer to 'facebook_user_id'.

• link 1 : https://graph.facebook.com/xxxx/picture?type=large
• link 2 : https://graph.facebook.com/xxxx/picture?type=small

Answer 2

The Graph API is essentially a very basic API, it's probably not the most efficient method to grab images. A better alternative is to learn how to uSe "FQL" and create a FQL that grabs all the UID's profile pictures. This way, instead of hundred and hundreds of calls, which can be very slow, you grab all the info you need in one call.

Answer 3

Here is the fix: you need to the parameter: return_ssl_resources=true

example:

https://graph.facebook.com/FB_UID/picture?return_ssl_resources=true
