@moz staff Where does OSE get Facebook Share information?

[Francisco_Meza]

When using OSE, where does it pull the Facebook data from? Open Graph? Like this? https://graph.facebook.com/http://www.moz.com

I am trying to find out because my URLs are coming in with completely different information: https://graph.facebook.com/http://www.discoverhawaiitours.com/to/discovertheroadtohana_21a.html

We are using the ShareThis plugin and I think it's not reporting the right info.

1st let me tell you I am not a staff member however I think I can help you.

I know that when you add twitter, Facebook etc. you must validate your ownership of of the social media network. Upon doing that you will then give Moz's API the power to from your website. Extract information from your website and your Facebook site in this instance.

I hope this was of help,

Hey Francisco!

For Open Site Explorer we pull shares of the exact URL you are looking up from public Facebook pages. 'Likes' are also pulled from public pages from Facebook's API and not the Facebook Page or embedded buttons on the URL.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!
