Calling multiple FB Graph API requests in codeigniter

Question

I'm working a Facebook login functionality which works smoothly, however I tried to Google this but couldn't find anything that I was looking for.

I need to get user profile pictures, interests, likes, books, movies, music. Code below is my controller which works fine.

class Welcome extends CI_Controller {

public function __construct() { parent::__construct();

} public function index() {
    $fb_config = array(
        'appId'  => '550765875685678567',
        'secret' => 'e03771716c87658765843535ac38'
    );

    $this->load->library('facebook', $fb_config);

    $user = $this->facebook->getUser();

    if ($user) {
        try {
            $data['user_profile'] = $this->facebook->api('/me');

        } catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
            $user = null;
        }
    }

    if ($user) {
        $data['logout_url'] = $this->facebook
            ->getLogoutUrl();
    } else {
        $data['login_url'] = $this->facebook
            ->getLoginUrl($params = array('scope' => "email,user_birthday, 
user_likes, >user_interests, user_location, read_friendlists, user_checkins, user_religion_politics, user_photos, user_likes, user_hometown, user_about_me")); }
    $this->load->view('welcome',$data);
}
}

Now if I wanted to run

 $albums = $facebook->api('/me/albums');

in same function, how would I achieve this? or how can I run multiple api calls here and include it in my $data['user_profile']?

Thanks all

You can run as many API calls as you would like in sequential order and have them go into your data array. For example:

$data['user_profile'] = $this->facebook->api('/me');
$data['user_albums'] = $this->facebook->api('/me/albums');

Multiple calls won't cause any problems.
