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];
oauth2.AccessToken = @"FACEBOOK-ACCESS-TOKEN";

// Connect to Facebook...

if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",rest.LastErrorText);
    return;

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

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

// Select the fields we want.
// This example will select many of the possible fields.
