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

#import <CkoOAuth2.h>
#import <CkoRest.h>
#import <NSString.h>
#import <CkoStringBuilder.h>
#import <CkoJsonObject.h>

BOOL success = NO;

//  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
CkoOAuth2 *oauth2 = [[CkoOAuth2 alloc] init];

//  Connect to Facebook...

}

//  Provide the authentication credentials (i.e. the access key)
[rest SetAuthOAuth2: oauth2];

//  Assumes we've already obtained a Photo ID.
