Workflow

Request: the code to send to the API

Send an API request to this endpoint in order to upload a picture to the Facebook account of a user:

POST /push/identities/<identity_token>/facebook/picture.json

The <identity_token> is obtained whenever one of your users connects using his Facebook account.

This endpoint is deprecated. On August 1, 2018 Facebook has removed the possibility for third-party apps to share to personal profiles. Alternatively you can use our API to upload pictures on pages.

POST data to include in the request

        {
          "request":{
            "push":{
              "picture":{
                "url": "#url#",
                "description": "#description#",
                "create_post": #create_post#
              }
            }
          }
        }
Key Description
* #url# The fully qualified URL of the picture to upload. The picture may not be larger than 5MB and must have one of the following formats: jpeg, bmp, png, gif, tiff.
Example: http://assets.oneallcdn.com/img/oneall/logo_sni_retina.png
#description# A description of the picture.

#create_post# Boolean flag, defaults to true.
If set to true, the picture is uploaded and displayed in a new post on the user's timeline.
