How to get facebook user info along with post info using graph api

Question

I am trying to fetch visitor posts from a Facebook page using Facebook Graph API. For more info see this: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.5/page/feed

According to documentation, I am using this: **/{page-id}/tagged?fields=message,id,created_time,from** to fetch the public posts in which the page has been tagged.

I am also fetching the user info using "from" field.

I am able to get the post array. Here is the sample response.

{
    "data": [
        {
            "message": "Sample message text...",
            "id": "136617136381867_1041817205861851",
            "created_time": "2016-01-28T12:13:37+0000",
            "from": {
                "name": "Annu Chelladurai",
                "id": "10152476225064109"
            }
        }
        .
        .
        .
    ]
}

I am able to get the user id and user name under "from" key.

How can i get other user info fields like "picture", etc.?

Answer 1

Finally, I got it.. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api#fields

We can use nested requests, as explained in the above document.

So the request is modified as **/tagged?fields=id, created_time, message, from{id, name, picture, location }**

And it works like a charm. It give me the user info and picture url also.

{
    "data": [
        {
            "id": "136617136381867_1042310465812525",
            "created_time": "2016-01-29T08:14:32+0000",
            "message": "Dear Sir,
