Facebook API Get fans of people who like a page

Question

I d like to get a list of users who like a certain page or a fan of it    The FB API documentation states that you can only get the count of the fans of a certain page using the social graph  but not a list of the fans   A discussion here Retrieve Facebook Fan Names suggests that one could use an FQL query like SELECT user id FROM like WHERE object id  YOUR PAGE ID  to get the number of people who liked the page  but for the same page  it gives an empty response        So I was wondering if anyone has an idea if this can be done

Technically this FQL query should work  but for some reason Facebook disallows it because of a missing index  Not sure if that is because of policy or they just forgot   SELECT uid FROM page fans WHERE page id  YOUR PAGE ID

I created small tool called luster for downloading list of  likers  and  followers  of your Facebook page   After download and unpack archive for your platform you can run it from terminal as  luster fans my-page-name   Where my-page-name is string identifier of your Facebook page    You will be asked for email and password to your Facebook account  Note that this account need to have one of available page roles  Even Analyst is enough   After while you should receive output similar to following  TIME KIND ID NAME LINK 1581665652 Like 111111111 John Doe https   www facebook com 111111111 1581663355 Like 222222222 Kal Peterson https   www facebook com 222222222 1581661970 Follow 333333333 Nikol Kus https   www facebook com 333333333   This tool is based on reading table which can be found in Settings - gt  People and Other Pages section of your Facebook page   Be aware that there is some limit up to 7k results from Facebook side  I tested it on two pages with more than 20k of fans and didn t get more then 7k results   See https   github com zladovan luster for details

For s3m3n s answer  Facebook fans plugin  e g  LAMODA  has limitation now  you get less and less new fans on continuous requests  You may try my modified PHP script to visualize results  https   gist github com liruqi 7f425bd570fa8a7c73be file-facebook fans by plugin-php  Another approach is Facebook graph search  On search result page  People who like pages named  Lamoda    open Chrome console and run JavaScript   var run   0  var mails      total   3000                     function getEmails  cont        var friendbutton cont getElementsByClassName   ohe        for var i 0  i lt friendbutton length  i              var link   friendbutton i  getAttribute  href             if link  amp  amp  link substr 0 25    https   www facebook com                  var parser   document createElement  a                parser href   link              if  parser pathname                    path   parser pathname substr 1                   if  path     profile php                         search   parser search substr 1                       var args   search split   amp                         email   args 0  split      1      facebook com n                     else                       email   parser pathname substr 1      facebook com n                                     if  mails email   gt  0                        continue                                    mails email    1                  console log email                                    function moreScroll         var text         containerID    BrowseResultsContainer      if  run  gt  0            containerID    fbBrowseScrollingPagerContainer     run-1             var cont   document getElementById containerID       if  cont            run            var id   run - 2          if  id  gt   0                setTimeout function                     containerID    fbBrowseScrollingPagerContainer     id                   var delcont   document getElementById containerID                   if  delcont                    getEmails delcont                   delcont parentNode removeChild delcont                                     window scrollTo 0  document body scrollHeight - 10                  1000                   else           console log        containerID             if  run  lt  total            window scrollTo 0  document body scrollHeight   10             setTimeout moreScroll  2000      1000                 moreScroll      It would load new fans and print user id email  remove old DOM nodes to avoid page crash  You may find this script here

Facebook s FQL documentation here tells you how to do it  Run the example SELECT name  fan count FROM page WHERE page id   19292868552 and replace the page id number with your page s id number and it will return the page name and the fan count
