First of all this is not a question itself. I have developed an android app to download photos from Facebook.
To get the the cover photo of an album, I made graph api requests with the graph id of the album and with fields id,name,count and picture. My app worked without much problems till 7th August 2013 and on the very day I found that the field picture does not return the cover photo of the album.
I have checked this with graph api explorer also and issue exists. Do anybody have the same problem?

I am using the Google photos API
We use this to add and reference photos to google photos.
Save the ID that is issued when adding a photo, link it with other information by using it, and reference the photo again.
After photos were added, it was possible in the above method during August, but in September the ID was changed, and I could not refer to it properly.
It means that the ID when added and the ID when referring have been changed.
Does this mean that the ID is automatically updated every certain period?
By the way, the photos in google photos have not been deleted.
The IDs changed as part of the 5 September 2018 release of the Google Photos Library API.
This was a once-off change during the developer preview. Now that the API has entered general availability, you should not expect breaking changes like this.
There's some more background in this question: Google Photos Library API IDs are invalid
I'm trying to get all posts from a facebook page for the last two years. Access token is my own which has manage_pages, publish_pages, show_page_list.
The posts are there, they're moderately old early 2016, but, graph doesn't bring them back these older ones. They were scheduled posts, visibility=everyone and of 'photo' type. Any query on {page}\feed, {page}\photos, or {page}\posts yields only a couple of posts.

Does anyone know how to enumerate these posts with graph, or know of the reason why graph isn't reporting them using the get/feed and get/photos command?
These aren’t photos, they are posts.

shows the first post from your dashboard screenshot, “Andrew Smith - Malta”, just fine.
This is a share of a post onto your page only - the “original” is https://www.facebook.com/andrewmsmithart/photos/a.1533059820295875.1073741827.1533035286964995/1648921165376406/ But since that is not a photo uploaded by your page nor has your page tagged in it, naturally it doesn’t show when you request your page’s photos.
The object_id field of your page post refers the actual photo object.
I need to get photos from a album via Facebook API and I also need a datetime taken of the photos. Is is still not possible? Isn't it there some workaround? Thanks
Facebook doesn't give you a taken time on their photos, only a time when the photo was uploaded to the Facebook system via the created field in FQL or created_time in the Graph API.
You could try downloading the largest version of a photo Facebook has on their system and checking for EXIF data. I doubt that there will be any.
Using the Facebook Graph API, I have been able to upload a photo. It is an old scanned photo. I would now like to modify the timestamp, so that it is shown at the appropriate point in the timeline. Does the API provide a way to do this?
Here is an article that says we can assign past dates to Facebook Timeline Posts - http://www.allfacebook.com/facebook-timeline-timestamp-2011-10 . I want to assign a past date to a photo I uploaded, and I would like to do it via the Graph API. Any leads would be helpful.
I'm creating an Application to upload photos to an album on a Fan Page.
This all seams to work as long as I'm the administrator for that Fan Page using the "manage_pages" permissions... but whenever I try to upload it as a "regular" user it fails because the user doesn't have the administrator rights (which of course makes perfectly sense).
I just can't seem to find a solution to solve my problem and to allow people to upload photos to the Fan Page's Album without becoming an fan-page administrator.
I really hope someone can help me since I've been struggling a few days trying to get this to work.
Cheers, Dwight
Non-Admins are not allowed to post to a fan page's album. They can post a picture to the page's feed. The page's feed album is different than the admin album. I tested this out last week for a similar question asked on S/O.
