Can i get lots of share counts using facebook grap

问题:

My idea is to implement something like this:

I've read that I have to use either Facebook graph API or FQL but I don't know which one is the best.

This is what I have so far but it takes a long to do it so my guess is that is the wrong method:

      <? require_once 'libs/facebook.php';

      // Create our Application instance.
      $facebook = new Facebook(array(
        'appId' => 'appid',
        'secret' => 'secret',
        'cookie' => true,
      ));

      $result = $facebook->api(array(
      'method' => 'fql.query',
      'query' => 'SELECT share_count, like_count, comment_count, total_count FROM link_stat WHERE url="URL";'
      ));
      echo '<p>'.$result[0]['like_count'].' likes';
      ?>

Is it OK if I try to get the share count (using one of the methods mentioned before) of let's say 50 different posts I have on my home page? Doesn't Facebook have a limit for this?

Use the graph API. FQL still works but it isn't one of Facebook's priorities.

Here is the link so you can see how it works: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

Secondly buffer the number so you aren't hitting Facebook everytime and will get faster page loads on your end.
