show facebook like's count using page's name

I'm new to Facebook API. How I can display Facebook's page 'likes' using page's name?

For Example, Steptoinstall is the page's name (URL https://www.facebook.com/steptoinstall). If I give this name, can I know the likes count of this page?

Solution

  • This name is actually the unique username of the page. So, you can use this to make the call to the API /{page-username}?fileds=like and you'll get the response as:

    {
  likes: 999999,
  id: "111222333"
}

    Example:

    http://graph.facebook.com/Steptoinstall?fields=likes

    Hope that helps!
