Video.getUploadLimits

Description

Returns the file size and length limits for a video that the current user can upload through your application.

The size of the video file and the length of the video that a user can upload vary, so you should always make this call before allowing a user to upload a video to Facebook. You should display these limits to the user before that user tries to upload the video.

Parameters

RequiredNameTypeDescription
required api_key string The application key associated with the calling application. If you specify the API key in your client, you don't need to pass it with every call.
session_key string The session key of the logged in user, or the session key provided when the user granted your application the offline_access extended permission. The session key is automatically included by our PHP client.
call_id float The request's sequence number. Each successive call for any session must use a sequence number greater than the last. We suggest using the current time in milliseconds, such as PHP's microtime(true) function. If you specify the call ID in your client, you don't need to pass it with every call.
sig string An MD5 hash of the current request and your secret key, as described in the How Facebook Authenticates Your Application. Facebook computes the signature for you automatically.
v string This must be set to 1.0 to use this version of the API. If you specify the version in your client, you don't need to pass it with every call.
session_key string The session key of the user whose upload limits you are querying.
optional format string The desired response format, which can be either XML or JSON. (Default value is XML.)
callback string Name of a function to call. This is primarily to enable cross-domain JavaScript requests using the <script> tag, sometimes known as "JSONP". This works with both XML and JSON.
