Is there any way to obtain the time of update of a user/page profile picture in a datetime format, using the Facebook Graph API ?
I found the way to obtain the URL etc, but nothing about the update time.
Thanks !

Is there a metric that I can pull from the Facebook Graph API that would tell me either/both Response Rate and/or Average Response Time from a page?
I'll attach a screenshot as to what I'm referring to:
I'm seeing this when I go to Settings -> Insights -> Messages, but would love to know how to pull this information from Facebook.
Anyone know the specific metrics or queries I could use to obtain this information?
EDIT: For anyone who offers the displayed_message_response_time, this doesn't work because it is set by the user AND returns a string (not numeric value).
Afaik there is only one way to get the reaction time:
Use /page-id/feed?fields=id,from to get all posts with the info who created them
Filter out the user posts with the "from" field
Get the time between the user post and a page answer (if there is one) post by post
Calculate the average response time based on the resulting times
I believe Fanpage Karma does it that way.
Is there a way to to access the date of a post, link or photo that has been backdated on a Page timeline?
The Graph API provides the created time and updated time, but does not reveal where it falls on the timeline.
For instance, I could post a link on 11/16/12 and set it to 10/31/12 on the timeline, and all I can access via the Graph API is the 11/16/12 date.
Is there a similar field to "start_time", provided with milestones? In this case, the created time can differ from the start time.
Thanks, everyone.
Using facebook timeline I can set or change the date of a staus or photo. How can my app retrieve this information using Faceook APIs? I can get created_time / updated_time suing graph API, but these are not the timeline date I am setting.
Also, for example, if I created Travel life event, how can I retrieve start / end date from the app?
Thanks!
There's not currently support in the API for retrieving life events / many other fields which are specific to Timeline
The example given on the Facebook Graph API page was https://graph.facebook.com/98423808305 - and this gives all the photos in the album and their URL. I am assuming that 98423808305 part is the Album ID. The trouble is, how do I get my own Album IDs? Where can I find this in the URL of my albums?
The first element in the query string is ?set=a.xxxx.yyyy.zzzz, with more digits than that of course. I tried using xxx, yyyy, zzzz. Using zzzzz gave me brief details of my own profile. Using yyyyy gave me someone else's profile. Using zzzzz gave me false.
I am a total newbie in Facebook APIs and finding it all very overwhelming, not knowing exactly where to start. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

CLARIFICATION: I am hoping to embed photos from my public FB albums in my own website. It is CMS driven so I thought it'd be nice if I can provide a macro of some sort, the user/editor can then enter some details (album ID, or whatever) and the macro will fetch the JSON data, and generate an album out of it on the CMS page. From what I can see in the client-side authentication method there's a process which requires me to authenticate on FB to get an access token. Is there any way to fetch a public album without authentication?
Trying to extract API object ids from urls will always be brittle, as Facebook could change the url format at any time. If you're planning to use the Graph API, GET /me/albums will include the Graph API ids of your albums.
I am using facebook insights for showing fan page analysis in my application. Since the last upgrade by facebook on 1st week of Oct 2011, i am facing issues with 'page_fans_gender_age' data values served by the Insights API. I am using graph API for this. We fetch the insights JSON on daily basis, but most of the times it do not provide values of 'page_fans_gender_age' parameter. The behavior is random, sometimes it served the required data and sometime it do not.
Anybody facing the same problem?
Yes, I'm facing a very similar problem.
Right now, I'm just simply trying to get some JSON returned from facebook, using JavaScript / AJAX and the GET method.
Are you using the Graph API? If so, how do you attach your extended permissions token to the call to facebook's read_insights?
