I need to link to the cover picture of an album on Facebook. This method works:

 img.src = "/<album_id>/picture?access_token=' + 
           FB._session.access_token;

But using FB._session.access_token doesn't look right...is there a better way? A pointer to the relevant docs would be nice, I couldn't find it myself.

I can't make FB.api() work for this, probably because the response is a redirect to the URL of the actual image data.

You could have a look here : How to get access token from FB.login method in javascript SDK

FB.login(function (response) {
    if (response.session) {
        var access_token = response.session.access_token;
        alert(access_token);
    } else {
        alert('User is logged out');
    }
});
