Facebook's FQL was deprecated after v2.0. The website I'm working on previously had a "Recent photos" feature that populated recent photos using this FQL:
var fql = 'SELECT object_id, aid, images, album_object_id, created, modified, position, caption
FROM photo
WHERE aid in (SELECT aid, owner FROM album WHERE owner = me())
ORDER BY created DESC
LIMIT 59';
I'm trying to figure out a comparable way to do that using the graph api. the /photos endpoint is probably what I want, but I can't figure out if it has a valid order queryparam.
In postman I've been messing around with this:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/10151316456544622/photos?fields=picture,name,source,created_time&limit=20&order=-created_time&debug=all&access_token=CAAL7TZAyo4RUBAOJe4Jgjdt6NZAqcajRghEGdKwraq4X1yZAKjvgXj4xXAZCoyZCkzMO84mTMJ90Vp5CEfJsT1WsoOwif2QZCS00bGqZAVxqmZChMUqKQmNsu2DvZCoY42ZC5fSBAxUuNCqTWg1QZCBZCz5oQx3wcNZCZCPUHOXMu5i5jZCOTGIiPWrAeTlzhFBqkvoZBZAPSJRhlkdxyrKPmpmOqgKrUeD13TdOtKU4ZD
The access_token is of a FB test account, feel free to go nuts. I'm not getting any debug information. There doesn't appear to be anything in the docs about how to change the order of photos.
This example url might not be the best. There's only 7ish public photos for this account, but I will potentially be getting recent photos from accounts with 1000s of photos. I don't want to just get all photos and reverse the list. I want to the most recent 20 photos in one call.
Any ideas? Is there order documentation that I've missed?
There is no direct way to achieve this using the Graph API, but you can use Real Time Updates to get notified about changes to the photos of a user.
