There are 3 things you need    You need to oAuth with the owner of those photos   with the  user photos  extended permission  You need the access token  which you get returned in the URL box after the oAuth is done   When those are complete you can then access the photos like so  https   graph facebook com me access token ACCESS TOKEN   You can find all of the information in more detail here  http   developers facebook com docs authentication

Well  you are having a valid access token to access your information and not others  this is because you got logged in and you have given permission to access your information   But the picture  owner has not done the same  logged in   permission   and so you are getting a violation error  To obtain permission see this link  and decide what kind of informations you want from any user and decide the permissions  Later on embed this in your code   In the login function call  Thanks

To get the actual access token  you can also do pro grammatically via the following PHP code    require  facebook php      facebook   new Facebook array      appId     gt   YOUR APP ID       secret    gt   YOUR APP SECRET             Get User ID   user    facebook- gt getUser      if   user       try         user profile    facebook- gt api   me          access token    facebook- gt getAccessToken         catch  FacebookApiException  e         error log  e         user   null
