Facebook API - Check Likes and Comments of Post

Question

Is there a way to check the number of likes and comments that a particular post has? I wanna display that number on my site so i need to reference the API somehow to get that result. I am looking for either a PHP or a javascript solution. This will also be done dynamically. I want to keep track of likes posted by my app to different users so I'm thinking i should store the post id when I make the post. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Each post in facebook has a specific Id

You can use graph api to grab this id and see all the comments, likes and shares of it.

You simply have to make a POST call and grab the produced JSON
