Facebook – Using facebook graph api how to get news feed with large picture size if the feed type is photo

Alright - this is a little bit hacky but I can't see any otherway. In your news feed you will see an item along the lines of:

{
         "id": "123456789_3453453455345334",
         "from": {
            "name": "A Friend",
            "id": "123456789"
         },
         "to": {
            "data": [
               {
                  "name": "A Friend",
                  "id": "123456789"
               }
            ]
         },
         "picture": "PICTURE_URL",
         "link": "http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3453453455345334&set=a.10151233554845639.123456.123456789&type=1",
         "name": "Mobile Uploads",
         "caption": "10 new photos",
         "icon": "ICON_URL",
         "type": "photo",
         "object_id": "3453453455345334",
         "application": {
            "name": "Facebook for iPhone",
            "id": "6628568379"
         },
         "created_time": "2000-06-29T19:56:50+0000",
         "updated_time": "2001-06-29T19:56:50+0000"
      },

The key in there is the link url, which contains:

set=a.10151233554845639.123456.123456789

The first number, after the a, appears to be the album id. We can therefore get the photos from the album by querying:

https://graph.facebook.com/10151233554845345/photos?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN

If you share a photo that already exists on Facebook then it appears with an extra property called properties:

"properties": [
            {
               "name": "By",
               "text": "A Friend",
               "href": "http://www.facebook.com/a.friend"
            }
         ],

If you share a photo on your wall this is actually an upload and so will not include the properties property

Yes there is

https://graph.facebook.com/[YOUR_ID]/home

Note though that you will get almost everything you see on your news feed by most recent order and not by Top Stories order which is the default view you get when visiting your own news feed.

Also another thing to note is that you wont get promoted stories in the results.
