(VBScript) Facebook Download all Photos to Local Files

Demonstrates how to download all of one's Facebook photos to a local filesystem directory. This sample code keeps a local cache to avoid re-downloading the same photos twice. The program can be run again after a time, and it will download only photos that haven't yet been downloaded.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads

ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True)

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

' This example will use a local disk cache to avoid re-fetching the same
' photo id after it's been fetched once.

' by setting type to "tagged" or "uploaded".

' To download all photos, we begin with an outer loop that iterates over
' the list of photo nodes in pages.  Each page returned contains a list of

' of the actual image.
