Getting user checkin information based on place_id from Facebook

I was wondering if there is any way to get user checkin information for different places based on the place_id. Facebook documentation keeps changing around and I'm not sure if this is possible now? Seems like it was possible in older API versions.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Solution

  • Checkins are deprecated since Graph API v2.0. You can get the total count (field were_here_count) of checkins to a place with a call like

    GET /BrandenburgerTorBerlin?fields=id,name,were_here_count

    which gives the result

    {
  "id": "145183205532558", 
  "name": "Brandenburger Tor", 
  "were_here_count": 128511
}
