This is a very silly question. I\'m a beginner with facebook Javascript SDK. So I\'m trying to make a the user\'s profile image to show I used this code
FB.
/me/picture
(or /{user id}/picture
) returns an HTTP 301 redirect to the image location so you can embed it directly into an <img src...
If you want to retrieve the URL and use it yourself you need to specifically request it as a field, via :
/{user id}?fields=picture
or
/me/?fields=picture
You can include other fields too, but I'm assuming you just want the photo right now.
I get the Facebook profile picture All sizes

This is sure shot, Proved to be working with facebook graph api 2.5. This is the sample HTML Please see the changes I have made in FB.api() function.

}
}
// This function is called when someone finishes with the Login
// Button. See the onlogin handler attached to it in the sample

function checkLoginState() {
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {

}
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'XXXXXXXXXXXX',
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access
// the session
xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page
version : 'v2.5' // use graph api version 2.5
});
// Now that we've initialized the JavaScript SDK, we call
//FB.getLoginStatus(). This function gets the state of the
// person visiting this page and can return one of three states to
// the callback you provide. They can be:
//
// 1. Logged into your app ('connected')
// 2. Logged into Facebook, but not your app ('not_authorized')
// 3. Not logged into Facebook and can't tell if they are logged into
// your app or not.
//
// These three cases are handled in the callback function.
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
statusChangeCallback(response);
});
};
// Load the SDK asynchronously
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];

js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
// Here we run a very simple test of the Graph API after login is
// successful. See statusChangeCallback() for when this call is made.
function testAPI() {
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log('Successful login for: ' + response.name);
console.log('Successful login for: ' + response.id);
console.log('Successful login for: ' + response.email);
var im = document.getElementById("profileImage").setAttribute("src", "http://graph.facebook.com/" + response.id + "/picture?type=normal");
document.getElementById('username').innerHTML =response.name;
});
}
</script>

You can get specific sizes of the profile pic as well:
FB.api("/me/picture?width=180&height=180", function(response) {
console.log(response.data.url);
});
See the Facebook documentation to see what different picture sizes you can get.
And a complete demo with login at: Get Facebook Profile Picture with Javascript SDK
FB.api('/me/picture')
will return a redirect to the image URL, so it'll be of no use for you:
The way you are using is valid as mentioned in the documentation (Reading section). Maybe this is related but I don't know if it's totally valid or not.
