I am building a simple website. I am going to put Facebook Like Button on each article page of this website. How can I track how many people Liked this particular article? Does facebook provide an API for that?
Clarification
I am going to write a script that is going to pull the amount of “likes” for each page every hour. This would allow me to build a popularity graph.
You will need to run FQL on
link_stattable providingurlof your article and retrievinglike_countfield. You can run FQL usingFB.Data.query()from JS SDK.
