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.
