Request to get total count of Facebook page likes in v2.3 API

Question

Previously I was using FQL for this, but this is deprecated as of v2.1 and I\'m moving over to v2.3 using the graph edge \"likes\".

Here is my URL:

h         


        

Answer 1

Anyone stumbling onto this answer now (April 2016) will get frustrated because the accepted answer no longer works in v2.6

?fields=likes and /likes now return the same result -> the pages that the page likes.

To get the number of fans, you now need to use fields=fan_count

https://graph.facebook.com/pepsius/?fields=fan_count&access_token=

As you can see above, you can also make the request directly with the pagename, no need to fetch the pageID.
