I've got a question regarding use of the Instagram Api and embedding public pictures.
My app shows pictures related to a geolocation which I got with the Instagram Api at the endpoint /media.
We show under the pictures the attribution (#author, instagram logo and link to the original picture) as specified here
Are we conformed with the instagram API legal use ?
Thanks

I want to publish on a page photos and videos and text in the same post.
According to the Facebook Graph API documentation v13 with this endpoint you can publish a photo on a page.
https://graph.facebook.com/{page-id}/photos
And with this videos are published
https://graph-video.facebook.com/v13.0/{page-id}/videos
Both endpoints allow a message along with the video or photo.
I suppose there must be a way to create a container like it is done on Instagram to post several with a text
I have a business manager account for my Facebook profile and I re-shared a video from another profile. How can I retrieve the number of views that my re-share accounted for through the Facebook Graph API?
If the video were posted directly to my profile rather than re-shared, I'd be able to use the /v2.8/{video-id}/video_insights method to retrieve the video stats, but that does not appear to be available for re-shares. The only insights that I can find for re-shares appears to be /v2.8/{post-id}/insights, but that does not include video views.
For example, here is a Facebook post by The Dodo where they are re-sharing a video by Discovery News.
This information can be retrieved by making a call to /v2.8/{post-id}/insights/post_video_views
I have studied Facebook API documentation and looked up other resources. It seems Facebook API does not provide a way to download stickers in a message thread. Is there any way I can retrieve stickers from Facebook threads?
If there is no way of downloading stickers available to developers, then my question is how is the Facebook messenger app able to do it?
As mentioned by WizKid (a FB employee) there is no public API available for getting stickers. The Facebook messenger app uses an internal API.
In Facebook messages, sticker link can be found in {message-id}/shares/link.
Link to API reference:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.10/message/shares
Stickers can now be pulled through the "attachment" field on a comment:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.8/comment
The graph will include attachment.url which can be used as an image source.
I would like to display my photo albums and photos that are in FB on my own website. However everything I have tried requires an access token that I seem to only get if I login to FB. I don't want visitors to my site to have to login to FB to see my photos.
Is there a way to get this data and not require a login? I want to pull data from my own FB account. Or is there a different way to authenticate my access behind the scenes so visitors don't have to login, to see my photos?
Facebook has recently launched a way to share the album with public without having to Signin. Every album will have link below this key word Share this album with anyone by sending them this public link. Take a look at this HOW TO for more information.
EDIT: However, for embedding refer this SO which explains how to grant permanent access to your photo albums
Another option is using 8 photo restricted Facebook Photo Badge
Showzey seems to be working on liberating your photos and provides widgets.
Facebook has a badges page that has different options for embedding Facebook content onto your site. The photo badge should fit your criteria.
May be this method could help you guys.
You can do it through a public fan page or a business page.
I put this script together a while back: http://roughgiraffed.com/FBalbum/. Working on a more legit version - will post when complete.
You can combine galleria (open source javascript image gallery framework) with a plug-in to integrate with facebook.
You can find the links bellow:

I'm using this very nice plugin for Joomla. Take a look.
I have a client who wants to use their Facebook photos in an iPhone app. We want to embed their account into the app so that when people download the app, they see the client's Facebook photos. The user should not need to login or connect to Facebook.
This is different than the standard "connect to facebook so we can access you data" - we have no need to access the users data.
Do I need to create a Facebook App, connect the client's Facebook account to the Facebook app, then use that to get the photo data ?
Ok, here is what I found
My business page is http://www.facebook.com/pages/Feltpad-Web-Mobile/128861547181352
That number at the end (128861547181352) is the business' "Facebook Graph ID"
Then use the Business Graph ID and go to http://graph.facebook.com/128861547181352/albums and you will see a list of all of the Photo Albums associated with the business' page. There is only one album, so that is all the info you get. The first valuable line on that page says "id": "133208113413362" - this is the Facebook Graph ID for the album.
Then use the Album's Graph ID and go to http://graph.facebook.com/133208113413362/photos - this will give you a JSON file with all the data you need for all the photos in the album.
You can also use ?limit=25 and ?offset=50 or both ?limit=25&offset=50 to page through the results.
This should be easy. Facebook gives a public URL for albums that are public to be viewed by the Internet without necessity of logging in. You can see this URL al the bottom of the album page that you may want to share.
It looks like this:
Share this album with anyone by sending them this public link:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=[ALBUM_ID]&id=[USER_ID]&l=[SOME_PARAM]
(quoted from a public album)
you can easily leach data and extract images from there.
However it is more sane to create a Facebook app (takes hardy a minute) and use Facebook graph-API to make REST calls to retrieve all the data about albums and photos within them in well formatted JSON that will be far easier to handle the HTML. Once you have Facebook App in place, you may use it to fetch all the FB data but it violates both of your requirements (1)Not using Facebook app, and (2) user don't have to sign-in.
But it may worth looking at
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/album
Well, there is some trick. If you go to the API page(http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api). Copy the URL given for Coca-Cola album (https://graph.facebook.com/99394368305) and make a request with photos REST command like https://graph.facebook.com/99394368305/photos you can access all the details of all the photos in the album in JSON format. I could not get it work for my personal public album though.
