I’m wondering if it’s possible to get the analytics from a Facebook page through an API. I’d like to use it to monitor page stats alongside Google Analytics (which uses GAPI) as we run various campaigns.
Any ideas?

Yep: see http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/insights/ for the details, but you can basically read all the insights as documented at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/insights/#Metrics.
You’ll need to grant your application the *read_insights* permission for the page, but once you’ve done that you should be able to reach in and get the data you want.
