Which page has the most fans on Facebook?

How do I import the number of Facebook fans or page likes on my company's Facebook page into Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets?

• I have looked everywhere for this. I am new to APIs and XML in general but it would be cool to have this. I have already figured out how to do a number of cool things with Google Spreadsheets from this post:http://www.distilled.co.uk/blog/seo/how-to-build-agile-seo-tools-using-google-docs/ and this post:http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-track-your-social-media-strategy but I would like to finish it off with being able to import the number of fans/likes that my company page has to create an awesome internal company report. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance!

  Hey, glad you liked my blog posts :) I had to play around a little but you can get this data using the Facebook Graph API: http://graph.facebook.com/Distilled This gives you data like this: {    "id": "7370493884",    "name": "Distilled",    "picture": "http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/50503_7370493884_6856516_s.jpg",    "link": "https://www.facebook.com/Distilled",    "category": "Internet/software",    "likes": 468,    "website": "http://www.distilled.co.uk",    "username": "Distilled",    "founded": "2005",    "location": {       "street": "2nd Floor, 72 Cannon Street",       "city": "London",       "country": "United Kingdom",       "zip": "EC4N 6AE"    },    "public_transit": "London Cannon Street Train/Tube Station",    "phone": "020 7183 0767" } If you have a read of my SEOmoz post you should be able to pull that into Google Docs using a query like this: function FBlikes(pagename) {   var jsondata = UrlFetchApp.fetch("http://graph.facebook.com/"+pagename);   var object = Utilities.jsonParse(jsondata.getContentText());   return object.likes; } Let me know if that doesn't work :) Tom
