Facebook API not working sometime for some URL - facebook

Question

I'm getting number of shares and comment of blog posts using facebook graph api for my blog, but sometimes it do not return shares and comment.
Following URL is not giving number of share and comments.
http://graph.facebook.com/?id=http://www.lehedonist.com/jeans-is-the-new-whiskey-2001
BUT it is working for this URL:
Example: http://graph.facebook.com/?id=http://www.lehedonist.com/spring-slam-fashion-war-ss16-1965

Answer 1

I somehow wonder why it's even working to request these URLs without an access token to be honest.
See
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.5/url
It only gives a result if there no version info in the URL. To do this in the v2.5 way properly, you'd have to use
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.5/?access_token={access_token}&fields=id,og_object,share&id=http://www.lehedonist.com/spring-slam-fashion-war-ss16-1965
where {access_token} is an actual access token.
Results will look like
{
"id": "http://www.lehedonist.com/spring-slam-fashion-war-ss16-1965",
"og_object": {
"id": "987675524635070",
