Get Individual Photo Info

See more Facebook Examples

Assuming we have the ID of a Photo, this example demonstrates how to retrieve the photo information and parse the JSON. Go

    success := false

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // This example assumes a previously obtained an access token
    oauth2 := chilkat.NewOAuth2()
    oauth2.SetAccessToken("FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN")

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    // Connect to Facebook...
    success = rest.Connect("graph.facebook.com",443,true,true)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        oauth2.DisposeOAuth2()
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    // Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
    rest.SetAuthOAuth2(oauth2)

    // Assumes we've already obtained a Photo ID.
    photoId := "10210199026347451"

    sbPath := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    sbPath.Append("/v2.7/")
    sbPath.Append(photoId)

    // Select the fields we want.
    // This example will select many of the possible fields.
    // See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/photo/
    rest.AddQueryParam("fields","id,album,can_delete,can_tag,from,height,width,images,link,name,name_tags,picture,place,target")

    responseJson := rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET",*sbPath.GetAsString())
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
