This question has popped up a few times already. I want to retrieve the cover photo of the facebook timeline via the graph api.

The answer that I have seen mentioned everywhere is that it is not possible. However I came across a site http://www.timelinemoviemaker.com/ which does indeed retrieve your cover photo of the timeline. Is there any special permission granted to the site to access the cover photo? Or have they used some other method to retrieve the cover photo. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
