Yes, you can do this easily with Facebook Graph API.

There are two options:

  1. if you want to get number of likes of some Page or URL, use this piece of code: 

    https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=select%20like_count%20from%20link_stat%20where%20url=%27http://www.facebook.com/facebook/%27&format=json

    NOTE that you need to change the part where i wrote URL that's http://www.facebook.com/facebook

  2. The New Graph API provides a minimal pull request code e.g.

    http://graph.facebook.com/[Type your Page USERNAME here]?fields=likes

    Here replace [Type your page username] part with username e.g.

    http://graph.facebook.com/facebook?fields=likes`

    and it will give you an output like: 

    {
  "id": "20531316728",
  "likes": 92990262
}

    I hope this helps and fulfills your purpose.
