# Ruby script to grab photos tagged of yourself on facebook and download them. | |
# Go to the Graph API explorer (http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer) | |
# and generate an access token with the permissions you need (user_photos, user_photo_video_tags) | |
# and use that access token here. | |
