Facebook Graph high resolution photos

Question

I\'m doing a Facebook Graph API call for \"me/home\" to get the user\'s news feed. As everyone knows, the URL you get in the \"picture\" field is a low resolution photo that doe

Answer 1

The graph api returns response which includes images and webp_images and it has image links in all available resolutions.

As per the latest version: v2.12

For profile photo:

/me?fields=photos{picture,images,webp_images}

For specific album:

'album-id'?fields=photos{picture,images,webp_images}

Field details:

photos: array of available photos, this will return json like below:

{
    data: [],
    pagin: []
}

In data object we'll get below fields:

picture: link for a low resolution image might be for the use of thumbnails

images: array of objects for picture image with the different different resolutions in raster format

webp_images: array of objects for picture image with the different different resolutions in webp format

images and web_images object will have data like:

{
    height: number, // 400
    source: 'link for the image with the resolution of height and width specified', //https:....
    width: number //496
}

Answer 2

For some reason none of the answers to this question worked, however, one person on another forum posted to use "full_picture" in the fields perameter and it worked like a charm. I didn't find this in any of the docs...unless I just overlooked it?

Answer 3

me/home - graph api has some a field called "object_id" and "type". If the type is "photo" then you will have this object_id value. By Using this object id and make another graph api call then you will get an objecty called "images". This object has several options ( different sizes ).

OR

Use object id like below and get a album sized version of a photo. and the supported types for this call are "thumbnail, normal, album".

https://graph.facebook.com/{object-id-from-feed}/picture?type=normal 

and also checkout this link under Examples of Supported Objects section.

Answer 4

Use this:

/user_id/?fields=picture.height(961)

It will give the maximum possible resolution picture.

Answer 5

Its a late response but but I have found a better approach

If you have got a address by using graph api like this

https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t1.0-9/s130x130/10501892_701590943222768_782659935906208443_n.png

then just replace 130x130 to a valid resolution

https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t1.0-9/s480x480/10501892_701590943222768_782659935906208443_n.png

and you will be able to get high resolution image

Valid image resolution can be found from this example call

http://graph.facebook.com/701586786556517

701586786556517 = object_id from Facebook graph API call

Hope this helps someone.

Answer 6

All you need to do is (Graph API):

http://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=picture.height(961) 
// all any height which u want

or (for other user)

http://graph.facebook.com/{user_id}?fields=picture.height(961) 
// replace {user_id} with the user id you want

UPDATE :

Since Facebook API will keep updating, This solution may be deprecated. This workaround solution might not work in future.

You may also need Access Token to execute this endpoint.
