Post image on Facebook Page Timeline via Graph API

Question

I would like to post a photo on my Facebook page timeline through the Graph API. My node setup is based and written in coffeescript. My current implementation is this (error handling):

sendImageToFacebookTimeline = (user, message, imageURL, callback)-> url = "https://graph.facebook.com/#{pageID}/photos" params = access_token: user.accessToken url: imageURL message: message request.post({url: url, qs: params}, (err, res, body)-> body = JSON.parse(body) callback(body.id) ) 

This successfully sends the photo to my page. But instead of appearing on the timeline, it appears in the "Photo PAGE".

How to send a message to the chronicle?

EDIT: I found out that by sending to / page _id / feed with the option "picture", you can send a photo to the chronicle. This displays just like the og: image and the view looks like a link.

EDIT 2: If you upload an album, it will appear on the timeline. I created an album and am trying to publish it. But the API does not seem to accept the source URL when posting to / album_id / photos.

Answer 1

To publish your own chronology, you need to get the access token from the page from / me / accounts, and not get the user token or exchange the token for a long-term token.

With this and the album ID, you can publish the album that appears on the timeline.
