Getting Facebook Reactions with Graph API

Question

Facebook just released the new reaction button, but I can't figure out a way to get this information from the Graph API v2.5 as the /likes edge only returns the total count of interactions.

Has anyone figured out a way to get this detailed reactions per post?

Answer 1

EDIT: As of April 12th, 2016 Facebook has published a reactions endpoint for posts as part of their v2.6 release of the GraphAPI

GET /v2.6/{object-id}/reactions

More information can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/post/reactions

END EDIT

I'm not sure if Facebook has published this yet, but the reaction information is currently available in the Graph API v2.5. I pasted the response below. I achieved this result by hitting the insights endpoint. For each object listed in the response below, take a look at the 'id' property, it has more granular query endpoints.

GET /v2.5/{object-id}/insights 

RESPONSE:

   {   "name": "post_reactions_like_total",   "period": "lifetime",   "values": [     {       "value": 0     }   ],   "title": "Lifetime Like Reactions",   "description": "Lifetime: The total number of like reactions to your post.",   "id": "{node_id}/insights/post_reactions_like_total/lifetime" }, {   "name": "post_reactions_love_total",   "period": "lifetime",   "values": [     {       "value": 0     }   ],   "title": "Lifetime Love Reactions",   "description": "Lifetime: The total number of love reactions to your post.",   "id": "{node_id}/insights/post_reactions_love_total/lifetime" }, {   "name": "post_reactions_wow_total",   "period": "lifetime",   "values": [     {       "value": 0     }   ],   "title": "Lifetime Wow Reactions",   "description": "Lifetime: The total number of wow reactions to your post.",   "id": "{node_id}/insights/post_reactions_wow_total/lifetime" }, {   "name": "post_reactions_haha_total",   "period": "lifetime",   "values": [     {       "value": 0     }   ],   "title": "Lifetime Haha Reactions",   "description": "Lifetime: The total number of haha reactions to your post.",   "id": "{node_id}/insights/post_reactions_haha_total/lifetime" }, {   "name": "post_reactions_sorry_total",   "period": "lifetime",   "values": [     {       "value": 0     }   ],   "title": "Lifetime Sorry Reactions",   "description": "Lifetime: The total number of sorry reactions to your post.",   "id": "{node_id}/insights/post_reactions_sorry_total/lifetime" }, {   "name": "post_reactions_anger_total",   "period": "lifetime",   "values": [     {       "value": 0     }   ],   "title": "Lifetime Anger Reactions",   "description": "Lifetime: The total number of anger reactions to your post.",   "id": "{node_id}/insights/post_reactions_anger_total/lifetime" }, {   "name": "post_reactions_by_type_total",   "period": "lifetime",   "values": [     {       "value": {         "like": 0,         "love": 0,         "wow": 0,         "haha": 0,         "sorry": 0,         "anger": 0       }     }   ],   "title": "Lifetime Reactions by type",   "description": "Lifetime: The total number of reactions to your post by type.",   "id": "{node_id}/insights/post_reactions_by_type_total/lifetime" } 

Answer 2

Facebook just released Graph API 2.6 and the reaction endpoint is available like so

GET /v2.6/{object-id}/reactions 

Which returned something like

{   "data": [     {       "id": "ACCOUNT-ID",       "name": "ACCOUNT-NAME",       "type": "HAHA"     },     {       "id": "ACCOUNT-ID",       "name": "ACCOUNT-NAME",       "type": "LIKE"     }   ],   "paging": {     "cursors": {       "before": "TkRZAMU9EWTROakF6TmpBM01qYzJPak2TnpnNE5qUTRNRE0zT1RFek16RXkZD",       "after": "TVRBd01EQTNOekEwTWpnME1EUTJPakUwTazJNVFl4TXc9PQZDZD"     }   } }
