I've been able to successfully use the facebook commands in Tier 1 to download the images of friends, but how do I download the user profile picture?

Thanks

The base URL is :

https://graph.facebook.com/User_ID/picture

(The User ID from the FacebookGetUserID() AppGameKit command

but it only works in a Browser capable of redirect.

For my case in AppGameKit, i'm parsing the result of :

https://graph.facebook.com/User_ID/picture?redirect=false

Which gives you the real URL in JSON Format. You have just to download it via this URL

. (and it's right that this command misses : GetMyFBPicture() (lol) ... Paul ? )

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

It would be cool to get this added as a command. Seems like an oversight that it's missing.
