I'm planning to use the Built-in Like for mobile users, and the standard Like Button for web users to "like" a webpage.
But is the Built-in Like feature has a connection to the Like Button (Social Plugin)?
From my observation:
On web version, after I clicked the standard Like Button, the Open Graph Object can track that like instantly
Calling fql?q=SELECT share_count, like_count, comment_count, total_count, click_count FROM link_stat WHERE url="http://websitelinkhere.com";
returns
{
"data": [
{
"share_count": 0,
"like_count": 1,
"comment_count": 0,
"total_count": 1,
"click_count": 0
}
]
}
But using the Built-in Like, the Open Graph Object cannot track that 'like' at all, the like_count and total_count are both 0.
And then here's the funny part:
By checking my og.likes
using https://graph.facebook.com/userid/og.likes?access_token=myAccessToken
It returns TWO likes, 1 from the Like Button and 1 from the Built-in Like Action
{
"data": [
{
"id": "10151050736776633",
"from": {
//skipped
},
"start_time": "2012-08-24T07:10:52+0000",
"end_time": "2012-08-24T07:10:52+0000",
"publish_time": "2012-08-24T07:10:52+0000",
"application": {
//skipped
},
"data": {
//skipped
},
"type": "og.likes",
"no_feed_story": false,
"likes": {
"count": 0,
"can_like": true,
"user_likes": false
},
"comments": {
"count": 0,
"can_comment": true
}
},
{
"id": "10151050736586633",
"from": {
//skipped
},
"start_time": "2012-08-24T07:10:42+0000",
"publish_time": "2012-08-24T07:10:42+0000",
"application": {
//skipped
},
"data": {
//skipped
},
"type": "og.likes",
"no_feed_story": false,
"likes": {
"count": 0,
"can_like": true,
"user_likes": false
},
"comments": {
"count": 0,
"can_comment": true
}
}
]
}
And then by using action id
returned by og.likes
, I can delete both likes using
curl -X DELETE \
-F 'access_token=accessToken' \
https://graph.facebook.com/10151050736776633
and
curl -X DELETE \
-F 'access_token=accessToken' \
https://graph.facebook.com/10151050736586633
Is it because I haven't submit my application to Facebook for reviewing yet?
I'm expecting the Built-in Like and Like Button work together as ONE action, but not generating og.likes
independently.
Thank you for your time.
Adding og:url
and using the Open Graph Object ID directly fixes the problem.
curl -X POST \
-F 'access_token=accessTokenHere' \
-F 'object=UsingOpenGraphObjectIDHereDirectly' \
https://graph.facebook.com/useridhere/og.likes
