title: How To Get Historical "Facebook Page Likes" Data via Graph API or FQL
body: <p>Was wondering if anyone knows how to get the historical data for any Facebook Page.</p>
  
  <p>For example, number of fans for RedBull fan page on a given day in the past or for a given period that ends today so that I can show fan development of any page over a given period.</p>
  
  <p>I tried it with the graph API  and FQL (insights) but no luck. </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://graph.facebook.com/" rel="noreferrer">https://graph.facebook.com/</a>{USERNAME}/insights?fields=likes&amp;period('week')&amp;end_time_date('2011-06-26') --> empty result</p>
  
  <p>Pulling the data via FQL also returns no results, plus it seems without a read_insights permission nothing is possible for page data</p>
  
  <p>I'd need this to be available with only a generic user access token. This data is publicly available anyway. Result should be somewhat like this: <a href="http://www.socialbakers.com/facebook-pages/australia/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.socialbakers.com/facebook-pages/australia/</a></p>
