I am using the graph api (through android SDK and graph explorer) to get a page's posts, when I get to a post of a page that has multiple images in a post it becomes an album.

Example post response

"message": "Test Multi-Photos",
      "full_picture": "",
      "from": {
        "name": "TestPage",
        "id": ""
      },
      "attachments": {
        "data": [
          {
            "media_type": "album",
            "media": {
              "image": {
                "height": 405,
                "src": "",
                "width": 720
              }
            },
            "type": "album",
            "title": "Photos from TestPage's post",
            "target": {
              "id": "147710857059579",
              "url": ""
            }
          }
        ]
      },
      "id": "_147710857059579"
    }

When I try to use the target.id to get the album photos

I believe the url would look like this

https://graph.facebook.com/147710857059579

I get a response saying that the endpoint is deprecated

{
  "error": {
    "message": "(#12) singular statuses API is deprecated for versions v2.4 and higher",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 12,
    "fbtrace_id": "AhhiY7ohbb5SoXdFNDZnHhU
"
  }
}

Documentation does not say anything about it being deprecated so how do you get the album photos?

To get photos from an album post you have to add subattachments to the attachments fields in the query.

Example using the Android SDK

parameters.putString("fields", "message,full_picture,from,place,attachments{media_type,media,type,title,description,target,subattachments}")
parameters.putString("limit", "10")
