I can't find documentation on how to create the Mobile Uploads photo album using the Graph API. (the one that allows you to do post-by-email) Is this possible? If so how, and what permissions do I need?
You can't. And the issue you're facing is a FB BUG: developers.facebook.com/bugs/445723968802294

I need a list of videos uploaded via share dialogue by the user using my app. I can't see any app-specific data added to the video in graph API, however, uploaded videos on Facebook does have the tag of my app when they get added to the feed. I want to track videos uploaded by the user using my app's share dialogue. Can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve this?
This is not a supported feature by the Facebook API. So there is no way to get this done without help from the Facebook team.
Is it possible to search for Facebook Live Videos through the Graph API?
The Facebook Live Video API is all about publishing video, which is not what I want. I have looked through the search API and there does not seem to be any obvious way to search for videos through it.
What I would really like to do is find a list of live videos in a given area.
Unfortunately, no. Not at this time.
You can get videos for individual users if they authorize your app, but that's it.
I have successfully used the Graph API via javascript SDK to view my live_videos using a user token with scope: email, public_profile provided they were created with a privacy setting to PUBLIC (using FMLE). If I create a stream with Wirecast, it starts as ONLY_ME and is not accessible via the API. HTH
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.
Anybody know how to upload a profile cover? Not a Album cover but a profile cover for the new timeline? Any help is much appreciated.
Maybe Facebook will roll out a specific API for that in the future, but so far the only way is to upload the photo via the photo API and then ask the user to choose it as his cover...
To upload a photo use a HTTP POST to https://graph.facebook.com/ALBUM_ID/photos (as seen on http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/)
There's no API for this just yet.
Is it possible to get and to change the new porfile cover (mine or my friends' profil cover) with the sdk php or JS ?
It is possible to get the Facebook's user cover image using the Graph API. You have to add 'fields=cover' to the user request. The response is an array of fields id, source, and offset_y. You need an access token for this.
You cannot update the cover photo using the API, only retrieve it.
http://graph.facebook.com/[USER_ID]?fields=cover
It's still not possible with the current APIs exposed by Facebook.
