- michaelcgorman 16y agoLooks like hashbangs mess up the counting; e.g. http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.twitter.com/ http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.twitter.com/ and http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.twitter.com/#!michaelcgorman/ http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.twitter.com/#!michaelcg...

- TomasSedovic 16y agoYou must encode it properly: http://graph.facebook.com/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitter.com%2F%23!michaelcgorman%2F http://graph.facebook.com/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitter.com%2F%23... Note that encoding '#' as %23 is sufficient. However, it doesn't show any shares and I'm not sure if that means nobody shared your twitter URL on facebook or if there's another problem somewhere.

- dotBen 16y agoStatistically speaking it would be flawed to use this to compare and prioritize a list of urls in order to rank them by interestingness/attention/etc. The reason is that pages that have Facebook like buttons embedded on them are statistically speaking going to have a higher chance of getting shared than those that don't (such as Hacker News - which doesn't have such buttons). I guess it depends what you might use this for, but to me it seems to only have limited value.
- bergie 16y agoWe've been doing that on Maemo News (http://maemo.org/news/ http://maemo.org/news/) for a few years now. Works well, especially if you couple it with local, HN-style voting and assign a separate weight for each relevancy source
- zaidf 16y agoIs there a way to get sum of the share count for all pages in a domain? This one only reflects share count of the specific page--or only the homepage if you pass a domain.
- terryjsmith 16y agoWe're working on this: http://www.jaxified.com/ http://www.jaxified.com/. Right now we're focused on blogs since it's easy to see new content, but we're working on adding support for static sites as well.
- matclayton 16y agoAdd the domain to facebook.com/insights and then you can download an excel spreadsheet with the daily totals, just sum these to get the total shares/likes for a domain
- jeffwidman 16y agoAnd if you want to parse the Insights data into pretty pictures and graphs that are easier to analyse than raw data, sign up for our private beta at PageLever.com.
- alecperkins 16y agoTypos even have some shares, too: http://graph.facebook.com/http://www,google.com http://graph.facebook.com/http://www,google.com

- hammock 16y agoThere is a guy at Yahoo that took a long list of news articles, etc and analyzed over 40MM "Likes" this way. Pretty cool charts came out of it. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2300300 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2300300

LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/cws/share-count?url=http://news.ycombinator.com http://www.linkedin.com/cws/share-count?url=http://news.ycom... These APIs are marked private (as opposed to Facebook's) so use at your own risk.
- yahelc 16y agoI packaged a few of the private ones with this weekend project: http://sharedcount.com http://sharedcount.com Unfortunately, only Facebook does URL normalization for you, so dumb things like trailing slashes have a big effect on the count.
- jsdalton 16y ago> Unfortunately, only Facebook does URL normalization for you, so dumb things like trailing slashes have a big effect on the count. Is that true? http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://news.ycombinator.com http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://new... http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://news.ycombinator.com/ http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://new... http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://news.ycombinator.com#foo http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://new...
- yahelc 16y agoI stand corrected. Twitter used to suck at URL normalization, but it looks like they must have fixed it. But, Delicious and Digg both are a pain.
- bravura 16y agoIs there an API for complete URL normalization, including unshortening URLs? Facebook and Twitter, do basic normalization, but do not unshorten shortened links. edit: This has already been discussed on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=577457 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=577457 edit 2: graphs.facebook.com will aggressively and unfortunately normalize any YouTube link to youtube.com. See, for example, http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB8nV453mTc http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB8... This give the number of shares for youtube.com, not this individual video. I am not sure how to get facebook share stats for a particular YouTube video.
- yahelc 16y agoAlso, probably goes without saying, but this method includes JSONP support: http://graph.facebook.com/http://news.ycombinator.com/?callback=foo http://graph.facebook.com/http://news.ycombinator.com/?callb...

- matclayton 16y agoIt's a shortcut for http://graph.facebook.com/?id=abc http://graph.facebook.com/?id=abc Looks like fb made opengraph pages first class citizens on their namespace, should be interesting to see what else they get soon, You can also do http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://news.ycombinator.com,http://google.com http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://news.ycombinator.com,h... To lookup multiple urls at the same time.
- luciferous 16y agoYuri Lifshits made an entertaining presentation at yesterday's SHDH with data from graph.facebook.com. Link: http://ediscope.labs.yahoo.net/ http://ediscope.labs.yahoo.net/.
- jf 16y agoThat's exactly how I learned that you can use http://graph.facebook.com http://graph.facebook.com in this way! For those of you who weren't at SHDH, you can see Yury's talk from last night here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13439718 http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13439718 - his talk starts at 14:40.

- marcuskaz 16y agoWhat API/URL do you use to get the bit.ly counts?
- seancron 16y agoProbably the bit.ly API: http://code.google.com/p/bitly-api/wiki/ApiDocumentation http://code.google.com/p/bitly-api/wiki/ApiDocumentation
- siculars 16y agoThat's the one. All the api's I'm using here return json. The only tricky part when dealing with these api's is making sure the json can be parsed, trapping errors, making sure variables exist before calling them... that kind of thing.

- jtesp 16y agoNice find. Facebook should have a morning paper about all of the changes & additions they make. They never seem to stick to any one way of doing anything and drive developers nuts!
- minouye 16y agoDoes anyone know at what point your IP would get throttled? If so, any usage guidelines if you plan on analyzing a large url set?
- sinaiman 16y agoDoes this only count public posts that "everyone" can see?
- bergie 16y agoHere is a PHP lib for getting these counts across quite a few services: https://github.com/nemein/com_meego_planet/blob/master/calculate.php https://github.com/nemein/com_meego_planet/blob/master/calcu...

- bobmarley420 16y agoIs their a way to see the specific names of each user who shared the URL on Facebook. For example, I have a Youtube URL that has been shared on Facebook through 9300 Users. Therefore is it possible to view the names of the 9300 users? When I right click the link on Facebook it directs me straight to the Youtube link and when i click see more it only shows the most recent 20 People who have shared the link out of the total 9300.
- bobmarley420 16y agoIs their a way to see the specific names of each user who shared the URL on Facebook. For example, if a URL has been shared on Facebook through 9300 Users is it possible to get a list of all the users name(s) or is their a easy wat to see which users shared the url.
