I basically need an access to a fanpage's likes by dates, i mean.. not the global likes when you access the graph but the ability to see how much likes the page got yesterday/today..
Any way to do that?
Have a look at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/insights/#page_users - you (by which I mean the user of your app) need to be admin of the page though. You get page_fans, *_adds, *_removes, etc.. On how to execute FQL using the Graph API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/

I want to get a number of posts from a page in last month. Is is possible with facebook graph API? Also FYI, i just have the access_token to interact with the Facebook API.
Also do anyone knows how to fetch the number of Page mentions in last month?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Try using Facebook's Page Insights using Facebook Graph API's :
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/insights/#page_posts
But please note that you need to be a page admin for this page, and you need to acquire a Page Access Token with the permissions 'read_insights'.
If you are not a page admin, then you can also do the same with an User Access Token or an App Access Token.
Steps:
`int postsCount = 0;
Use the following API query https://graph.facebook.com/{page-id}/posts and issue a reuquest.
Count the posts fetched. postsCount = postsCount + {the posts json array size}.
Store the cursor returned by the above API result. Use it to fetch the next page of Posts.
If the {the posts json array size} > 0, then goto step 3.
Notes:
I am sure that you can do it better with FQL, but I am guessing FQL is being deprecated.
I think there is a summary(true) annotation (https://graph.facebook.com/{page-id}?fields=posts.summary(true)) that you can use, but I couldn't get it working.
There is an API rate limit that you need to keep in mind. And do some throttling.
So, the moral of the story is that I am not sure if Facebook really wants you to crawl its Pages if you are not the Admin of the page. :-)
Pages on Facebook can like other Pages. Is there a way to get the list of Pages that a Page (not a User) likes via the Open Graph API? I don't see that documented anywhere.
It's similar to users:
/[page_id or name]/likes
edit:
You don't need any permissions, You can ask about any pages' likes
I am trying to get the user ids of all the users who have liked or commented on a status on a facebook page.
I tried using graph.facebook.com/page_id/posts?access_token=...
but it only gives me 2-4 user ids who have liked and their total count, similarly for comments. Is there any way to get all the ids?
According to The Documentation for the 'Post' object
(and verified by me on my own page using the Graph API Explorer tool), these work:
/POST_ID/comments to fetch the comments
/POST_ID/likesto fetch the Likes
I'd like to pull a list of all Facebook "Likes" for a user, whether they are Facebook pages or external URLs.
Example:
If you "Like" the Facebook Platform, I know I can see it via the /me/likes API call.
However, if you like an external URL, I'm not sure how to pull that. Are both supposed to be pulled via the /me/likes call? Or is there another call to handle external likes?
Further, what about newsfeed / stream likes? For example, if I "Like" a photo, video, status or link that I see in my stream, is that accessible via the API? If so, how is this accessed?
Yes, user_likes will give you access to both.
You can access external likes as you wish through the Graph API endpoint /me/likes, as long as they're not articles. Objects with type "article" do not represent real-world objects and as such, we don't provide on a person's profile. We mention this (albeit obscurely) on the Open Graph documentation page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/#types
So if you go to my fake movie object page at
http://fbsb.hoodlu.ms/so_7436857/video2.html
and click like, that will show up when you access your likes on https://graph.facebook.com/me/likes.
Try it using the Graph API explorer:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=me%2Flikes
If you want the URLs that someone has liked, use this FQL query:
SELECT url FROM url_like WHERE user_id = me()
More information is available at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/url_like/.
If you want to access the likes from a post, photo, video, etc. you'll need to use the like and stream FQL tables. To just pull out the likes (of posts/photos/videos) for the current user:
SELECT user_id, object_id, post_id FROM like WHERE user_id=me()
From there, you would query the stream table for the post to get more information.
like table documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/like/.
stream table documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/stream/
Facebook now has two ways to read likes. If you would like to get the likes of an external URL you try this:
http://graph.facebook.com/me/og.likes/[ID_FACEBOOKOBJECT]
And if you wish get the likes from an internal Facebook page (fan page,profile,photo like) try this:
http://graph.facebook.com/me/likes/[ID_FACEBOOKOBJECT]
Checkout: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
We have references to other companies on our website and provide the option for people to 'like' them. After a quick skim of the Facebook documentation, I can't work out how to calculate the number of likes our website generates for others so we can measure our effectiveness. Is this possible?
Thanks
The easiest way to get this from the graph api for example https://graph.facebook.com/http://www.google.com there you can find the total number of likes and comments
You can subscribe to "edge.create" and count user likes of any like button on your site.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/
There is another source (website or something) that have a like button with the same url? if not, you can query link_stat table using FQL to know the number of likes of a url. if yes, I think that the only option is to store the likes count in your website code, in a database or something.
