I suggest using a tool like SharedCount, it offers a lot more platforms too. Here is how they get the data: http://www.sharedcount.com/documentation.php (Scroll down to "Sources")

So for Facebook it would be like this:

https://api.facebook.com/method/links.getStats?urls=%%URL%%&format=json

You get a JSON object like this one:

..."share_count":66,"like_count":15,"comment_count":1,"total_count":82...

Edit: This is deprecated now, but there is another possibility, explained in this thread: Get FB likes, shares and comments for a URL using PHP - with no limit
