I am trying get the url for facebook profile photo which appears in contact detail page. I am able get the photoUrl of Contact by SOQL query:
select photourl from contact where id = 'contact Id' response = /services/images/photo/contactId If I use this in workbench REST Explores I am getting the proper response with facebook profile image url. But how to do this Rest call in apex. I tried : public String getCalloutResponseContents(String url) { // Instantiate a new http object Http h = new Http();

// Instantiate a new HTTP request, specify the method (GET) as well as the endpoint    
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();    
req.setEndpoint(url);    
req.setMethod('GET');

// Send the request, and return a response    
HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
System.debug(res);
return res.getBody();

} but getting bad request error.

In Apex you should Query directly for the Contact:

Contact c = [SELECT PhotoUrl FROM Contact WHERE Id = :contactId LIMIT 1];

No need to make a ReST callout from Apex.

  • So the full link would be the server along with your result. You can get the server using URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl();
