Facebook share count not working; Possible fix found #243

Open kievins opened 9 years ago

kievins commented 9 years ago

The facebook share count is not working because FQL request keeps returning this error: "(#4) Application request limit reached",

You can also observe the error in action on the example page here: http://sharrre.com/example1.html

I succeeded in fixing this by changing from FQL to restserver.php. In jquery.sharrre.min.js I replaced this: facebook: "https://graph.facebook.com/fql?q=SELECT%20url,%20normalized_url,%20share_count,%20like_count,%20comment_count,%20total_count,commentsbox_count,%20comments_fbid,%20click_count%20FROM%20link_stat%20WHERE%20url=%27{url}%27&callback=?",

with this: facebook: "http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&urls={url}&format=json&callback=?",

Not sure if there are any drawbacks to this fix, for now it seems to be working well.

The old REST API will be deprecated on April 30th 2015. Using the /fql endpoint without an app access token will result in request limit errors.

The only official endpoint usable will be /?id={url}, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/url
