Upload multiple photos as a single publication, for example, photos in chronological order, not like an album in Facebook, using the iOS SDK

Question

I am developing an iOS application in which I need to support uploading multiple photos to Facebook from the application.

From the many forums and doc discussed, I know that using a batch request is possible.

For the first batch request with multiple photos, a default album is created and photos are added to this album. At the next request, all images uploaded using a batch request are added to this album, which is created by default during the previous one.

So, all the images are grouped into one album. Thus, only one entry is displayed on the Facebook timeline.

But I want to show them as a separate record, not just one album record. For example, if we upload 2 photos from Facebook, they will be displayed as a separate entry, etc.

So, I need how to upload some photos to Facebook, for example, a message on the timeline, not like publishing an album using the Facebook iOS SDK?

Answer 1

As far as I know, you should do the following:

• Create an album programmatically via /{album}
• Upload each photo /{album}/photo( https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/album#photos )
• /user/feed (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/feed/#publish)

( PHP):

        $tmp_type = $the_page_id."/photos";

        $batch = [
        'photo_1' => $fb->request('POST', $tmp_type, [
         'message' => 'Foo photo 1 test',
         'url' => 'http://www.your_domaine/1.jpg',
         ]),
        'photo_2' => $fb->request('POST', $tmp_type, [
        'message' => 'Bar photo 2 test',
         'url' => 'http://www.your_domaine/1.jpg',
          ]),
        ];

        $response = $fb->sendBatchRequest($batch,$the_token_of_the_page);

, , ( {page-id}/photos, {album-id}/photos), .
