Extraction of post from Facebook using RFacebook package - r

Question

I succeed getting the text of the post and share and likes count.
However, I am not able to get the like of the comments associated with the post . If this information is not avalaible , I would like to merge the like count of the post to each comments.
Example: A post gets 900 likes and 80 comments. I would like to associated the 900 likes values to each of the comments (a new column called post_like maybe).
I would like to use this information to perform a sentiment analysis using the number of likes (complexe like (i.e. haha, sad...)) in a logistic regression with the frequence of the most frequent words as the x variable.
Here is my script so far:
token<- "**ur token , get it at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/**"
# Function to download the comments
download.post <- function(i, refetch=FALSE, path=".") {
post <- getPost(post=fb_page$id[i], comments = TRUE, likes = TRUE, token=token)
post1<- as.data.frame(melt(post))
}
#----------------------- Request posts --- ALL
# Get post for ALL
fb_page<- getPage(page="**the page number u want**", token=token, since='2010/01/01', until='2016/01/01', n= 10000, reactions=TRUE)
fb_page$order <- 1:nrow(fb_page)
# Apply function to download comments
files<-data.frame(melt(lapply(fb_page$order, download.post)))
# Select only comments
files_c<-files[complete.cases(files$message),]
So basically I get the page with the post ID and create a function to get the post of the post ID on that page.
As you can see , I get all the information I need BESIDE the likes and share count.
I hope I am clear , thanks a lot for you help

It's all there:
library(Rfacebook)
token <- "#############" # https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
fb_page <- getPage(page="europeanparliament", token=token, n = 3)
transform(
fb_page[,c("message", "likes_count", "comments_count", "shares_count")],
message = sapply(message, toString, width=30)
)
# message likes_count comments_count shares_count
# 1 This week members called o.... 92 73 21
