title: Is api.facebook.com here to stay or will it be deprecated along with Graph API v1.0?
body: <p>I am working on a project that requires getting the number of Likes and Shares of various links.</p>
  
  <p>This can be done either by calling api.facebook.com or Graph API v1.0 in the public with no app and token required at all.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&amp;urls=http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&amp;urls=http://www.example.com/</a>
  <a href="http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">http://graph.facebook.com/http://www.example.com/</a></p>
  
  <p>However, Facebook has <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/api-v1-deprecation" rel="nofollow">started deprecating apps using Graph API v1.0</a>, and their Platform Upgrade Guide makes no mention of api.facebook.com which predates Graph API v1.0.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Developers should expect apps calling API v1.0 to be migrated <strong>at any time after April 30th, 2015</strong>. The migration will roll out to all apps over the course of <strong>a few weeks</strong>.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Should I expect api.facebook.com to be deprecated along with Graph API v1.0, or will it be another <code>sharer.php</code> and be kept indefinitely?</p>
