I can get the share count of an URL using PHP SDK and using the deprecated rest API, but didn't find a way to get the share counts of an URL using graph API.

Is there any way to find out?

Facebook: https://api.facebook.com/method/links.getStats?urls=%%URL%%&format=json
Reddit:http://buttons.reddit.com/button_info.json?url=%%URL%%
LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/countserv/count/share?url=%%URL%%&format=json
Digg: http://widgets.digg.com/buttons/count?url=%%URL%%
