title: Can I search for how many checkins in a place with Facebook graph API?
body: <p>I have read through graph API document, and tried the following queries:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>curl <a href="https://graph.facebook.com/search" rel="nofollow">https://graph.facebook.com/search</a>\?type\=checkin\&amp;place.name\=Dante+Coffee\&amp;access_token\=...</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The access_token is valid. But it shows nothing like this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>{"data":[]}</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I guess I only have the permission to access checkins sent from the owner of this access_token. And since I have never checkin this place, I got zero data from this query. But is it possible to get the total number of checkins with a place name by Facebook Graph API? </p>
