Output Facebook Likes, Comments, Clicks & Shares Seperate as well

[BlockChainBobC]

This is a great Library, For facebook it uses the Total Number of Shares, Likes, and Comments which is good for some things.....

For my purposes however I need the total count AND the numbers separated. For example if I send the URL:

http://nba.com/warriors/gameday/20160522/recap

To your Script at: https://count.donreach.com/?url=http://nba.com/warriors/gameday/20160522/recap

it Returns:

{
"url": "http://nba.com/warriors/gameday/20160522/recap",
"total": 16797,
"shares": {
"facebook": 16797,
"google": 0,
"linkedin": 0,
"pinterest": 0
}
}

If we send it Directly to the Facebook API Graph at: https://api.facebook.com/method/links.getStats?format=json&urls=http://nba.com/warriors/gameday/20160522/recap

we get:

[{"url":"http:\/\/nba.com\/warriors\/gameday\/20160522\/recap","normalized_url":"http:\/\/www.nba.com\/warriors\/gameday\/20160522\/recap","share_count":117,"like_count":15815,"comment_count":865,"total_count":16797,"click_count":0,"comments_fbid":"991016050996638","commentsbox_count":11}]

Your script Returns only the "total_count". Could the script be changed to return at least for Facebook all the important additional parameters like shares separated from likes and comments like so:

{
"url": "http://nba.com/warriors/gameday/20160522/recap",
"total": 16797,
"shares": {
"facebook": {
"total_count":16797,
"commentsbox_count":11,
"click_count":0,
"comment_count":865,
"like_count":15815,
"share_count":117
},
"google": 0,
"linkedin": 0,
"pinterest": 0
}
}

What changes would be needed to do this?

The hosted API on https://count.donreach.com/ has long been replaced with a new app written in go (this repo is pretty much unmaintained). We're about to launch a new version so I might be able to squeeze this in as an extra option in the next version (by adding something like &detailed=true to the URL). Will update you when it's released.

This definitely won't happen now since the Facebook API doesn't display like counts anymore.
