facebook rss - how to increase thumbs image size?

facebook, rss

Solution

You should use the Facebook Graph API for this, it's far more robust, versatile, and better maintained.

- Start at the `/PAGE_ID/feed` endpoint, so in your example `/170589069647190/feed`. (Play around in the explorer to test it) Great, now you have the same list of posts as that RSS feed. Note that each post with a photo has an `object_id` field.

- For each `object_id`, go to the endpoint `/OBJECT_ID?fields=images,height,width,source`. If you're doing multiple of them, it's best to batch them together for efficiency

Those 2 simple steps will give you this data for each photo status update. The outside `height`,`width` and `source` are the orginial upload dimensions and source. But the `images` array provides you with a bunch of resized images. Choose the one most appropriate for your needs.

Problem

I'm accessing a facebook-rss through ``` http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=... ``` Update: Actual URL: ``` http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=170589069647190 ``` However, the thumbs for the images are way to small. Is it possible to change the size of the tumbs with rss-arg or FB-page setting? (or should I get the FB-posts in another way) regards,
