Get only photos that have 2 users tagged in them (graph API)

Question

Im trying to write a graph API query url that will return photos that have the user and their partner tagged in them. I can get the users partner ID from their profile data using the '/me' endpoint however once I have their significant others ID I'm unsure how to proceed or even if its possible.

Ive tried queries like: me?fields=tagged.with(<significant other id>) and me/photos/<significant other id> hoping that it would work in the same way as me/friends/<friend id> does, but no joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much

There can be no global query like "Give me all photos in which Person1 and Person2 are tagged", because the user_photos permission is always relative to the user which gave your app the permission to use his data.

See

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/album/photos
• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/photo/tags/

A solution could be to

1. Query to the me user's and his significant others ids:

   /me?fields=id,significant_other

2. Query all the tags from all the me user's albums

   /me/albums?fields=photos{id,tags}

3. Check in for application if both ids occur in the same tag

As I wrote, you cannot do this for all photos on Facebook, but only for photos of a specific user which gave you permissions.
