Is there any possibility to extract/get the image and description from Facebook post in code?

Let say we have a public post https://www.facebook.com/rihanna/photos/a.207477806675.138795.10092511675/10154095214621676/?type=3&theater

Do we able to extract/get the image and description(Get the new dance remixes ...) of that particular post by using Facebook sdk in code?

thanks in advance

Yes, it's possible. You can access the Graph API through a GET request and the photo ID (in your case it's 10154095214621676). As long as the photo originates from a public page you can call for different parameters like name (that's the description), picture (small image), etc.

You can play around with the Graph API Explorer to figure out what exactly you need. For a more detailed information on the possible parameters you might want to have a look into the Facebook Developers Documentation. There you can also find some examples how to handle requests in different SDKs.

Agreed with trotta.

Something like this https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/145634995501895?method=GET&path=10154095214621676%3Ffields%3Dpicture%2Cname%2Calbum%2Cimages&version=v2.9

and you can get all info for the post.

  • Thanks a lot that was more helpful for me because you put PhotoId on right place and I easily understand how do you get the image – artos May 11 '17 at 13:25
