I have been exploring the Facebook insights FQL table, and I assumed I could get to all of the data which is available via the insights dashboard from the FB app admin.
However, I am having trouble figuring out how to get the data shown on the "Insights > News Feed" set of reports. Particularly, I am trying to get to the stats of the feed stories generated by my app.
Is it possible to get to this data right now? I can't seem to find it.
Try to use insights connection for Post.
The User, Page, Application and Group objects have feed connections containing post objects that represent their walls. In addition the User and Page objects have a connection named posts containing Posts made by the User and the Page respectively.
A post from Facebook Platform: https://graph.facebook.com/19292868552_10150189643478553

Suppose that I am the administrator of a Facebook page, I want to get all of the profile details of a the people who "liked" my page. Is this possible? How?
So far, I have only been able to get aggregated data through the Graph API. For example, "number of like in the past week".
There are posts that claim that I can do this with the FQL API, but the documentation for the FQL seems to have been hidden on FB developer site.
FQL reference is not "hidden", it's here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql But there's no current official way to get the profile details of your Page's liker, because you'd need the permission to query the user data from the users.
There are some "hacks" as denoted at Facebook API: Get fans of / people who like a page for example, but it's strongly advised that you don't use these. Facebook forbids scraping for example, and once Facebook changes its website, those methods are likely to stop working.
Hi I'm a web developer and a client has asked me if I can build an app that displays the information contained inside the OrderedFriendsListInitialData. This information is found when you view the source code on your Facebook news feed.
The Facebook Terms of Service is very clear about NOT scraping Facebook pages, so I would need to access the data via the API. The idea is to allow users to see this list in a convenient way though a Facebook app.
Also, if this is NOT possible, then would Facebook make an exception to scraping this singular element for the sole purpose of displaying it to the user it was generated for.
I.e. not showing it to other people, only scraping the data to show it directly to the user without saving it to any database.
There is no API available to return the coefficient-ranked friends list - if your app needs to organise friends based on the user's relationship to the friends, a popular method to do this is to examine the user's photo tags and/or news feed and likes to choose friends most closely associated with the user
Is it possible to get for example the first 50 people who liked a post, photo, whatever I created on facebook via the Graph API? Is there any kind of order when accessing connections like /likes or /comments?
Use the following link (given that you have permissions to access to the post):
/likes?limit=50
This should be the first 50 likes ordered via Facebook (usually based on time).
ASFAIK, you cannot get a list of people who like a page. It's a privacy issue. If you wanted to create an app, and users authorized your app, then you could get a list of the current users friends who like the page.
I am new to Facebook's Graph API and FQL. I want small information about the same.
I want to get List of all pages liked by any particular user.
I have used Graph API just to allow user to get logged in with their Facebook ID and Can access their wall but don't know much about rest of the this.
I searched on Google for same but got information about list of pages that user administrate that I don't want, I want full list which is like by them.
It's a connection property of the User object.

We run some facebook pages for our clients and we'd like to run off some reports, like many people LIKED those pages yesterday, for example.
I can see that this can be done by FQL, but you need an access_token to run the queries using Facebook Graph API in (C#).
For these Facebook pages there isn't an app associated with them, so without app_id how can I get authenticated to be able to run those queries ?
Thanks
You could create an app that you then use to retrieve the stats.
If you then get an access token for a user that is an admin of the pages and request the read_insight extended permission you can get the insights data for each page, which will give you plenty of stats to report in a handy JSON format.
See here for more details on the insights in the graph API
