Getting Facebook Post all Reactions Count in single Graph API request - facebook

Question

As Facebook released the new reaction{NONE, LIKE, LOVE, WOW, HAHA, SAD, ANGRY} feature for post, but I can not figure out to get all reaction counts in single graph API request.
Has anyone figured out a way to get this detailed reactions per post in single request?

Answer 1

The approach introduced by #CBroe appears to be working using Multiple ID Read Requests.
?ids=7175346442_10153799389241443,7175346442_10153799470326443&fields=reactions.type(LOVE).limit(0).summary(total_count).as(reactions_love),reactions.type(WOW).limit(0).summary(total_count).as(reactions_wow),reactions.type(HAHA).limit(0).summary(total_count).as(reactions_haha),...
Screenshot from Facebook Graph API Explorer:
Once a collection of posts is retrieved, one should be able to read reaction counts grouped by type using a single request. Note, the current limit of ids in the Multiple ID Read Request pattern is 50.

Answer 2

Theoretically possible using Field Expansion in combination with Field Aliases, like this:
?fields=reactions.type(LIKE).limit(0).summary(1).as(like),
reactions.type(WOW).limit(0).summary(1).as(wow),
reactions.type(SAD).limit(0).summary(1).as(sad),…
But there still seem to be some bugs in that regard; I frequently got “An unknown error has occurred” while testing this; f.e. replacing the limit value for LIKE with 1 in the above query triggers it …

Answer 3

Simply use the following as part of your graph query
fbpageid/posts?fields=created_time,story,message,shares,reactions.type(LIKE).limit(0).summary(1).as(like),reactions.type(LOVE).limit(0).summary(1).as(love),reactions.type(HAHA).limit(0).summary(1).as(haha),reactions.type(WOW).limit(0).summary(1).as(wow),reactions.type(SAD).limit(0).summary(1).as(sad),reactions.type(ANGRY).limit(0).summary(1).as(angry)&limit=10
So I'll be getting Post ID, Created time, Story, Message, Share Count, reaction count (currently 6 reaction) using only 1 query. It works with APi v2.9 as well

Answer 4

If you have read_insights permission, you could get reactions in following way for feed or a post
fields=insights.metric(post_reactions_by_type_total).period(lifetime).as(post_reactions_by_type_total)
and you would get results like:
"name": "post_reactions_by_type_total",
"period": "lifetime",
"values": [
{
"value": {
"like": 10,
"love": 2,
"wow": 3,
"haha": 1,
"sorry": 1,
"anger": 2
}
}
],

I found a way to achieve this with 1 request:
GET /{userId}?fields=
posts.as(like){reactions.type(LIKE).limit(0).summary(true)},
posts.as(love){reactions.type(LOVE).limit(0).summary(true)},
posts.as(wow){reactions.type(WOW).limit(0).summary(true)},
posts.as(haha){reactions.type(HAHA).limit(0).summary(true)},
posts.as(sad){reactions.type(SAD).limit(0).summary(true)},
posts.as(angry){reactions.type(ANGRY).limit(0).summary(true)},
posts.as(thankful){reactions.type(THANKFUL).limit(0).summary(true)}
This way you will receive 7 lists of posts (one per each reaction). Example:
{
"like": {
"data": [<list of posts>]
},
"love": {
"data": [<list of posts>]
},
"wow": {
"data": [<list of posts>]
},
"haha": {
"data": [<list of posts>]
},
"sad": {
"data": [<list of posts>]
},
"angry": {
"data": [<list of posts>]
},
"thankful": {
"data": [<list of posts>]
},
"paging": {
"previous": "...",
"next": "..."
},
"id": "<userId>"
}
