I wanted to know the count of the no. of people that have shared/posted a link of my website on Facebook. I came across link_stat that I think will do what I need. The only problem is that FQL is slowly being discouraged and I fear that the code I write today may get deprecated someday.
Is there anyway to accomplish what I'm trying to do purely using the Graph API? Or maybe Facebook Insights?
I have an app that I have associated to my website and have put it's APP_ID on every page of the website.
If there is such a way, perhaps someone could post a sample link using the Graph Explorer.

I am scratching my head from a few days to get this thing done but i am not able to do it. developer.facebook says FQL is not available anymore and graph API do not provide any such thing.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/user/likes
You need the "user_likes" permission, check out the docs for example code.
This will only return the Facebook Pages you like, it is NOT possible to get a list of all external links you like afaik.
How would I GET landmarks, like new job/ married/ moved, etc. from the facebook (or any other 3rd party) API??
I'm trying to make a timeline of 'big' moments using facebook, specifically on iOS
I found an answer here stackoverflow.com/questions/12400522/… that lets you use FQL instead of the graph API to send requests and then returns more exact information.
Facebook's FQL reference is here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/technical-guides/fql/
Is there any way I can create comments related to my object, without using the comments plugin? The Facebook Graph API seems like the correct way, but can I link to an object on my web site without actually "posting" that object as a post on facebook? Amazingly, I can't find anyone on the Net with this problem, so perhaps I'm simply doing it wrong.
I'm trying to post to:
https://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=http://iesgroup.ca/myappbeta/Item/1799633&message=test&access_token....
I do have the publish_stream permission in the access_token. All I get back is "An unknown error has occurred".
Essentially, I have set up my own web site using the Open Graph protocols. Each item that I have has its own URL with the proper OG tags. For each item, I am able to fetch the comments that facebook has associated with it. But I am unable to actually attach new comments to that object, without using the facebook comment plugin. I'm using my own look-and-feel commenting system, so I am not interested in using facebook's module. I'm using the JavaScript API to fetch the existing comments.
Note, that if I use the Open Graph protocol, users are able to post actions to their timeline, but not actually associate new comments to the object.
Thoughts? Thanks.
The only way I know of is to use the Facebook Graph API and have a Facebook website application and use server-side code to directly re-post comments from your website to the facebook page on an existing Facebook object. It is much more in-depth than the simple Open Graph implementation. But if you don't want to use Facebook's comment module, I don't see any other option. This is a link to the area of making comments, http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/Comment/ , but this is only useful after you have everything else set up. This is a huge undertaking to get your website to this point, but you will have full control over every aspect of how you interact with Facebook, cause you write your own code. Here is a link to the top level of the FB Graph API so you can read more about it. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

We want users to be able to post to their Facebook if they want to. We have it kind of working with the older Facebook profile but not with the new Timeline.
We want it to be like Tumblr where you can post/share to your Facebook account as much as you want.
Is there a limit of post that we can have a day per users or the via entire API in general?
We are using FB connect already of course!
The documentation for Facebook's Open Graph is probably the best place to start. Take a look at their best practices page, as well:
If your application is making too many calls, the API server might rate limit you automatically, returning an "API_EC_TOO_MANY_CALLS" error.
Is there a way to list all friendship requests using the facebook graph API? I didn't find anything in the docs, but with the experience I've undergone concerning the quality of this doc so far, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a way to it.
I think it's not possible using only Graph API. You will need to use any SDK and then make a FQL query.
