fb.api using picture edge

[tvl83]

I am trying to retrieve the profile pictures of friends using the app and I am getting a not valid json response error. I can do the same exact call via postmates and get a proper response and on the graph API explorer on facebook and I see the JSON response there, even with the access_token I get on my site.

It seems that the response to the picture using ngx-facebook has the response coming in the headers instead of a json response.

I am able to use fetch and get it fine. It doesnt have a data object in json there's just a url key in the response that I can use.

fetch(`https://graph.facebook.com/v2.12/${this.fbUserId}/picture?access_token=${this.accessToken}&format=json&height=150&width=150`)
      .then(response => {
         console.log(response.url);
      });

For anyone else wanting to use it this is how I did it. You can change the height and width in the url (or parse the url and change it after the fact) and it will return the size asked for.
