Sample Request

The following example is a GET request made by a User who has reacted to their own object.

 curl -i -X GET \
 "https://graph.facebook.com/your-post-id/reactions?access_token=your-user-access-token" 

 GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newGraphPathRequest(
  accessToken,
  "/your-post-id/reactions",
  new GraphRequest.Callback() {
    @Override
    public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
      // Insert your code here
    }
});

request.executeAsync(); 

 FBSDKGraphRequest *request = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc]
    initWithGraphPath:@"/your-post-id/reactions"
           parameters:nil
           HTTPMethod:@"GET"];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
    // Insert your code here
}]; 

 FB.api(
  '/your-post-id/reactions',
  'GET',
  {},
  function(response) {
      // Insert your code here
  }
); 

 try {
  // Returns a `FacebookFacebookResponse` object
  $response = $fb->get(
    '/your-post-id/reactions',
    '{access-token}'
  );
} catch(FacebookExceptionsFacebookResponseException $e) {
  echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
} catch(FacebookExceptionsFacebookSDKException $e) {
  echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
}
$graphNode = $response->getGraphNode(); 

The JSON Response

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "your-user-id",
      "name": "Your Name",
      "type": "HAHA"
    }
  ],
  "paging": {
    "cursors": {
      "before": "QVFIUk5YbXFFbG8yVWVOa2w0ZAGhmSUNKMkZAZAOXZARbzJOMHM0TUFtZAnhJbWdPdkF4OURUTHJrQjFqQ2RQZAVN1UGxSVU5FWURENnE4OUFPeXFreU1jV09pdFJR",

    }
  }
}

If the User or Page has not reacted to the object being queried, data will be empty.

The following example is a GET request for the total reactions to an object.

 curl -i -X GET \
 "https://graph.facebook.com/your-post-id
   ?fields=reactions.summary(total_count)
   &access_token=your-access-token" 

 GraphRequest request = GraphRequest.newGraphPathRequest(
  accessToken,
  "/your-post-id",
  new GraphRequest.Callback() {
    @Override
    public void onCompleted(GraphResponse response) {
      // Insert your code here
    }
});

Bundle parameters = new Bundle();
parameters.putString("fields", "reactions.summary(total_count)");
request.setParameters(parameters);
request.executeAsync(); 

 FBSDKGraphRequest *request = [[FBSDKGraphRequest alloc]
    initWithGraphPath:@"/your-post-id"
           parameters:@{ @"fields": @"reactions.summary(total_count)",}
           HTTPMethod:@"GET"];
[request startWithCompletionHandler:^(FBSDKGraphRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
    // Insert your code here
}]; 

 FB.api(
  '/your-post-id',
  'GET',
  {"fields":"reactions.summary(total_count)"},
  function(response) {
      // Insert your code here
  }
); 

 try {
  // Returns a `FacebookFacebookResponse` object
  $response = $fb->get(
    '/your-post-id',
    '{access-token}'
  );
} catch(FacebookExceptionsFacebookResponseException $e) {
  echo 'Graph returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
} catch(FacebookExceptionsFacebookSDKException $e) {
  echo 'Facebook SDK returned an error: ' . $e->getMessage();
  exit;
}
$graphNode = $response->getGraphNode(); 

The JSON Response if the User or Page has reacted to their own object.

  "reactions": {
    "data": [
      {
        "id": "your-user-id",

Parameters

Fields

Reading from this edge will return a JSON formatted result

{
    "data": [],
    "paging": {},
    "summary": {}
}

data

The Profile of the Page or User running the query, if the object being queried was reacted to by the Page or User, and a list of reaction types:

For reactions on Posts, this edge does not return a Profile except for the current user, if read with a user access token.

Example JSON Returned

    ],
    "summary": {
      "total_count": 3498
    }
  },
  "id": "your-object-id"
}

paging

For more details about pagination, see the Graph API's paging documentation . Adding limit(0) to reactions will remove paging from the output.

summary

Aggregated information about the edge, such as counts. Specify the fields to fetch in the summary param (like summary=total_count ).
