Is it possible to fetch the "likes" data from a user's profile using the old rest api ? Specifically FB has launched this new "Likes" feature recently, where a user can Like a page, etc. This information is visible under the "interests and likes" section of the Info page of a user. I am looking for a way to fetch this information using the old rest api. Is there a field in user.getInfo that I can query on that will return this information ?
A:
Getting a users likes is not possible using the old REST API. You can continue making all your existing API calls using the old API, and just use the graph for likes.

I'd recommend using the Graph API to do this: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user -- basically fetching /me/likes
. It's much more natural than our older API. If you need advanced use, then you can query the page_fan
FQL table: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/page_fan.
