title: Facebook graph api comment count
body: <p>seems Facebook changed the result of posts, few weeks ago it was possible to read the comment count from the post directly</p>

  <p>you got something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>...
  "comments": {
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "502974003098530_78616446", 
      "from": {
        "name": "Mathias Fritz", 
        "id": "526559276"
      }, 
      "message": "saugeil!", 
      "can_remove": false, 
      "created_time": "2013-03-26T14:58:01+0000", 
      "like_count": 1, 
      "user_likes": false
    }
  ], 
  "paging": {
    "cursors": {
      "after": "MQ==", 
      "before": "MQ=="
    }
  }, 
  "count": 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but now the count is missing.  </p>
  
  <p>I did some research on the graph documentation but the only change in that direction seems to be that comments can have comments now... and those comments are counted in a field named comment_count.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there still a way to get the total comment count?</p>
