Facebook Graph API: User picture breaking changes #215

Closed kurenov closed 3 years ago

kurenov commented 4 years ago

Based on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v8.0/user/picture, since October 24, 2020, an access token will be required for all UID-based queries including user profile images as I understood.

Will the react-avatar library support Facebook user images after October 24, 2020? If so, what data should be provided?

JorgenEvens commented 3 years ago

As I understand the Facebook API you should no longer be getting UID user IDs from the API or login flow, but rather receive the still valid ASID or App-scoped user ID. TheASIDandPSID` IDs will continue to work, so unless you are using really old user IDs you should remain unaffected.

The ID set on a User resource is definitely an ASID *

The app user's App-Scoped User ID. This ID is unique to the app and cannot be used by other apps.

Could you maybe test some of the IDs you are using react-avatar with? There are instructions in the warning to see if you'll be affected.

@JorgenEvens thanks for reply. Just tested with breaking_change=profile_picture param, and it returned expected user profile. Apparently, it should work fine without any further changes in when ASID is used even after October 24, 2020.

That's what I would have expected, I'm closing this issue for now.
