fan_count

[world33]

Is there any way to use Facepager to retrieve just a Facebook page total count of likes and followers? For example for this Facebook page it would be https://www.facebook.com/Harvard/ 4,938,347 people like this (total fan count) 4,862,079 people follow this

I could not find any preset to do so. The total fan count (fan_count) is referenced in the graph api at the following page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/

Yes, it is possible. But Facepager is not an one-click-application. You need to study the settings and get familiar with the way the Facebook Graph API works by yourself, sorry.

Look at the Help-Page, try the Getting Started (which will show you how to get like count), play around with settings...

Thanks for your reply. I found the solution. I could not find any email where to share the Jason file as per your help page suggestion. Below the Jason code if interested in adding it to the default presets:

{
  "columns": [
    "id",
    "fan_count"
  ],
  "options": {
    "params": {
      "<page>": "<Object ID>"
    },
    "relation": "/<page>/?fields=fan_count",
    "pages": 1
  },
  "name": "Get Page Fan Count",
  "module": "Facebook",
  "description": "Extract the number of fans/likes a Facebook page has (fan_count)"
}

Great, thank you, I will add it in the next release.

No worries, I edited it lately at GitHub and removed unnecessary table fields.
