I'll explain the question with an example: the facebook page "the eagles" is now merged with the official band page "Eagles" (https://www.facebook.com/EaglesBand); if a user has a "like" on "the eagles" and I retrieve it through facebook connect, how can I get the new, official, page? The APIs still provides the old page name and id.
Thanks.

Are the ads in Facebook considered as posts , is there a way to distinguish organic
posts from Ads ?
Some type of ads like unpublished page posts are ads considered "posts".
Usually, non-serving posts on the Page are used to create ads in the News Feed that will not appear on your Page.
Visually, in the news feed, you see as "sponsored post".
Using the API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.9/post), you can distinguish the posts using the field "is_published", that returns 'false' for page posts created as part of the Ad Creation process.
I hope it helped you.
I am using the iFrame version of the Facebook like button and was wondering how Facebook scrapes my website. They pulled information in the middle of the page, which was the first paragraph tag, instead of taking from the divs earlier. I was wondering if this is normal and how often Facebook updates their page.
Secondly, I am having problems editing this information in the page settings on the Facebook page that was generated. It would be nice if I could manually override whatever Facebook scrapes from my website.
Thanks,

I want to be able to get the tagged posts for a page (e.g. harvard). what kind of authentication do i need to have (access_token) or do in order to be able to get those posts? they are publicly available.
You answer lies in the link you posted (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/)
In the connections section, it says "any valid access_token or user access_token":
tagged
The photos, videos, and posts in which the Page has been tagged.
any valid access_token or user access_token
a heterogeneous array of Photo, Video or Post objects.
So if this is incorrect, you can scroll to the bottom of the link and click the Report Bug link to report an error in the documentation.
In the insights section on facebook, it's possible to have statistics of the most liked pages on the domain I own.
The question is, is it possible to obtain this list (on a website, not facebook pages) with the graph API, or at least, is it possible to obtain statistics which combines page url and likes count on a given domain ?
I read most of the facebook api doc and it seems that nothing like that exists.
Thanks!
Ive made a website which you can 'like' and this is linked to the Facebook Page.
Is it possible to have individual blog posts 'liked'? If so, how could I still link these to the Facebook Page in some manor?
Thanks
You can set up Like Buttons for individual blog posts as long as each post has a distinct URL (which should be the case).
You cannot simultaneously Like a blog post and a Facebook page. A Like exists between one user and one Facebook object: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/like/
If you want to increase your Facebook page Like count, you can either direct people to the page itself or add a Like Box to your blog.
