Has Facebook ever provided a way to ascertain when a page was created either through the Graph API, the Legacy API, or FQL? I can't seem to find it.
No, the creation date of a page isn't exposed anywhere in the API
According to this offical resource :
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/page
There is no any column that mention about the time when page is created.

Is there any way using FB Graph API by which I can find the date on which the particular page was liked by me?
Thanks
No, there is not.
The date/timestamp of when a “like” happened is not available via the API.
I have had a crack at this on the Graph API Explorer, but it returns nothing, not even an error. I used the API endpoint save.saves as described here.
You referenced a link to the Open Graph stories section in the docs, that´s something completely different. Afaik there is no way to get access to the saved links with the Graph API, at least not at the moment. If they ever make it available, you will find the endpoint here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.5/user
I am interested in fetching all data available on this page (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/insights/) with Facebook API. Is it possible to get raw data to use with my own graphing tools?
Yes. You can query the insights table using either the Graph API or FQL.
The insights documentation is not very clear, and in FQL especially, you need to manually ask for data points one period at a time. The FQL documentation is worth reading even if you're using the API since it defines all the different metrics which are available.
Visit the Graph API Explorer, get an access token with the Extended Permission read_insights and type /PAGE_ID_OR_USERNAME/insights into the search box. You'll see a bit of what is available.
You can drill down by adding parameters to the end of the url. For instance /PAGE_ID_OR_USERNAME/insights/page_fan_adds_unique/day?since=-1 month gets you a json object with the unique page fan adds each day for about the past month.
You are only able to get insights data for a page where you have admin rights.
I'm trying to get some insights on a list of Posts by a Page on Facebook.
To be specific, I want to get the information highlighted in this blog post via the API.
But I can't figure out how, anyone knows how?
As far as I know it's only possible using the "stream" table. So you've got to use FQL to query this data. Using this technique you'll only get the impressions directly. Feedback rate can be calculated by adding #comments and #likes and dividing the result by #impressions. Hope they'll add this to the insights graph api as well.

If you are trying to aggregate multiple pages or a page other than the requesting app then you may need grant read_insights permissions to your application.

I've been pouring over Facebook's Graph API but I can't seem to find any documentation with regards to retrieve comments users leave as they Like an Open Graph object (in my case, a web page with a Like button).
At a minimum, I would assume that there would be some way to retrieve comments from users whose privacy settings allow anybody to see their updates (I guess this might require me to know the UID of everybody who Likes my web page). Alternatively, there might be some method where user comments may be associated with the Open Graph object's stream instead.
Anybody?
To see a user's wall feed via the API (even public ones) you will to have them authenticate your app. Yeah, pretty crappy not to be able to query their public messages, but it is a current limitation of Facebook's API.
