Facebook page automatic like URL for QR Code

Question

I was wondering if one could construct a URL for automatically liking a Facebook page   Then this URL could be converted to a QR Code so people can automatically  like  your page by reading it with their smartphone    I have been searching a lot  but all I could find so far are commercial services like Spotlike  Likify  Social QR Code etc   I don t want a solution that relies on such commercial services    I am starting to suspect that Facebook has not enabled this possibility for understandable reasons  abuse and such   Still  I was hoping it would be possible to do this somehow  even by just creating my own intermediary service  In the latter case what would be basically required for creating such a service      EDIT   I already did try a URL like this  http   www facebook com plugins like php href http   facebook com interlinkONE   This URL  also when encoded as a QR code  did not really give a desirable result on an iPhone  as it showed a blank page with a tiny  like  button that was barely discernible  Also  it did not appear to work even when I attempted to click the  like  button    Source  http   qreateandtrack com 2010 10 18 how-to-create-qr-codes-for-the-facebook-like-button

Have you tried using the fb    protocol   To have them like your page when they scan the qr code  it goes like this    fb   page  pageID  addfan   If you need to get the pageID  replace  www  with  graph  in the Facebook url when you visit your page in a desktop browser and it will display the ID and other data   Not only does this add them automatically  but it opens up the page in the FB app instead of the mobile browser   As far as legality  I would assume as long as you put something like  Scan to like our page   you re in the clear  They know what they re getting into

In my opinion  it is not possible for the like button  and I hope it is not possible    But  you can trigger a custom OpenGraph v2 action  or display a like button linked to your facebook page

For a hyperlink just use www facebook com   page ID   like  Eg  www facebook com MYPAGEISAWESOME like  To make it work with m facebook com here s what you do   Open the Facebook page you re looking for then change the URL to the mobile URL   which is www m facebook com MYPAGEISAWESOME      Now you should see a big version of the mobile Facebook page  Copy the target URL of the like button   Pop that URL into the QR generator to make a  scan to like  barcode  This will open the m Facebook page in the browser of most mobiles directly from the QR reader  If they are not logged into Facebook then they will be prompted to log in and then click  like   If logged in  it will auto like   Hope this helps   Also  definitely include something with a  click here scan here to like us on Facebook

I m not an attorney  but clicking the like button without the express permission of a facebook user might be a violation of facebook policy   You should have your corporate attorney check out the facebook policy   You should encode the url to a page with a like button  so when scanned by the phone  it opens up a browser window to the like page  where now the user has the option to like it or not
