UPDATE 11/01/2020: Facebook’s Graph API 2.X and 3.X no longer allows for retrieval of URL likes, shares and comment counts. However, Facebook’s Graph API 8.X DOES allow for retrieval of engagement activity, and I’ve produced a new tutorial. đ
Itâs hard to believe a few years has passed since I wrote the tutorial about how to use Facebookâs Graph API 2.X to retrieve the count for a given URLâs likes, shares, and comments.
I was informed a few days ago that my seamless solution for displaying the total count for likes, shares, and comments is dead in the water and no longer works.
Well, I guess this means weâre all in the dark now since Facebookâs most recent API upgrade doesnât allow for such desired functionality, right?
