无法使用facebook api获取照片

Question

I am trying to fetch the photos of a user from facebook using php api. Currently I don't have permissions to fetch the photos from facebook. But I am using the same id which has been used to create the facebook app. I heard that we can use the same id (the one used to create the app) for testing everything from facebook. My code for fetching user photos is :-

$request = new FacebookRequest(
  $session,
  'GET',
  '/{user-id}/photos'
);
$response = $request->execute();
$graphObject = $response->getGraphObject();

Response of the above code :- Array()

It is returning a blank array. Is it because I do not have permissions to fetch photos or any other reason?

Answer 1

As an app admin/developer/tester you can experiment with permissions without the need of submitting for app review. However, you still need to request the permission to be able to access the data of these endpoints.

You can easily test this on the Graph API Explorer, where you could easily request permissions and query endpoints.
