Facebook Releases Details on the High Resolution Photos API

Facebook has released read and write APIs for its new high-resolution photos, which all users can see and download, but only some can upload. All photos now include a “images” field containing height, width, and source information about all available sizes. Facebook plans on rolling out the ability to upload to all users soon, but until then, any high resolution photos uploaded through the API on the behalf of those without upload access will be sized down to 720 pixels.

At the end of September, high resolutions photos, flash uploading, bulk tagging, and a lightbox view were integrated into Facebook photos, the world’s most popular photo sharing product.
