Question

I have a website called example.com with several internal pages that are liked.

I created a FB app.

when a user authenticates the FB app, I want to fetch ALL user likes such as: example.com/page1, example.com/page2, etc.

(a single user can have up to 100+ likes on the internal pages of example.com) I essentially want to get all the liked URL’s (and associated FB graph ID) the authenticated user has made on my example.com website.

is there a way to do this?

perhaps via a facebook.api call? or perhaps a FQL query? I am open to PHP or JS.

please help! thanks.

…fyi, My initial thought is to for each user, fetch ALL their likes, parse through each one to make sure it came from example.com, and then store those like URL’s into a local database. when the user re-visits the site, I will query my database for likes associated with that user. this did not seem the most efficient as it would require storing all likes ever made on my website. any help would be much appreciated.

If you just want to store when a user likes a page on your website why not make use of the edge.create and edge.remove events the Facebook JS SDK provides? Example:

FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(targetUrl, elm) {
    // Make a request to server to save 'Like' information
});

FB.Event.subscribe('edge.remove', function(targetUrl, elm) {
    // Make a request to server to remove 'Like' information
});
