Facebook php sdk v5 - Download feed post full picture

Question

I need to download (by php: curl, file_get_contents...) the post full picture to site folders.

I can get the post item data, even the full_picture url but when I want to download it by wget or curl the server responds with an 403.

If I try to download that url by browser, no problem, I can see it.

But if I try from curl or wget I get a 401 response

wget https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hvthumb-xta1/v/t15.0-10/s720x720/12525704_987920591279679_1409522552_n.jpg?oh=33b2b223cc3e6c2ddd1a94f098c44457&oe=5748C6D2

I've tried also appending the access token to the path:

...&access_token=XXXXXXXX

This is the json post item:

                                )

                )

        )

    ...

I'm getting post information from a facebook page this way.

Init the Facebook class:

$this->facebook = new Facebook([
  'app_id' => $app_id,
  'app_secret' => $app_secret,
  'default_graph_version' => 'v2.5',
  //'default_access_token' => '{access-token}', // optional
]);

Getting post data:

...
$fields = array(
  'id',
  'application',
  'call_to_action',
  'caption',
  'created_time',
  'description',
  'from',
  'icon',
  'is_hidden',
  'is_published',
  'link',
  'message',
  'message_tags',
  'name',
  'object_id',
  'picture',
  'full_picture',
  'place',
  'privacy',
  'properties',
  'source',
  'status_type',
  'story',
  'story_tags',
  'targeting',
  'to',
  'type',
  'updated_time',
  'with_tags',
  'actions',
  // 'tags',
  // 'object_attachment',
  'feed_targeting',
  'attachments',
);
$data = $this->facebook->get($id . '?fields=' . implode(',', $fields));
$item = json_decode($data->getBody());
$object (object) $item;

Appending an access token is of no use – you are not making an API request here, but are requesting a resource from their CDN, and that doesn’t use access tokens. // Have you tried adding the “usual” request headers to make your request look like it came from a real browser – stuff such as `User-Agent`, etc. …? — CBroe, Jan 22 '16 at 14:50

Ty to set the UA like @CBroe mentioned:

wget -U Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36 {your-url}

You may consider using cURL as an alternative: Saving image from PHP URL
