Facebook share count is a wrong

[anorudes]

Hello.

The shares of the facebook include other data - number of comments, likes and more.
https://www.sharedcount.com/ (Add any url and click the plus)

For example: http://google.com
Shares: 14.66m
Comments: 2.68m
Comments Plugin: 10.13k
Reactions: 26.2m

The "social-share-kit" give out sum of numbers.

How to get only shares count?

[matinfo]

The number of share returned come from: https://graph.facebook.com/?id=http://google.com.

To get more precise result need to use FB API call, and to do such call, need a FB accessToken.

FB dev doc say: However, an app_access_token or user_access_token is needed for engagment field requests.

Social-share-kit currently not request such FB accessToken for simplicity.
