Finding websites that have been 'Liked' on Facebook?

Question

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to find third party websites that have been 'liked' on Facebook.

I can't seem to find a search function on Facebook for this, so I tried searching using Google but none of the searches returned what I was looking for.

Answer 1

You can check via the Graph API using the ids query.

https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://apple.com

{
   "http://apple.com": {
      "id": "http://apple.com",
      "shares": 141119
   }
}

Depending on the website and whether a Like button was available on that page you may get the number of shares instead.

{
   "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/": {
      "id": "110935752279118",
      "name": "Inception (2010)",

   }
