Re: Help using MYSQL to automatically gather data from Facebook Graph API

This is not a task for MySQL Workbench. While you can use MySQL to store this data, you need another method to gather it. Using a programming language, such as PHP, is a common way. You might want to (A) Determine how to get the like count into PHP, (B) Write a PHP script that inserts the like count into MySQL, and (C) Set up a cron job (or scheduler) to execute this script each day.
