Get Facebook like count using the API

I'm trying to get the number of Facebook likes using the API for the page of the organization I work for - https://www.facebook.com/giftoflife. (The number is about 150k.)

https://graph.facebook.com/110653755631234/insights/page_fans simply returns no data (I'm using the correct access token).

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT I need to use the insights API specifically, as I need to get the likes within a specific date range.

Getting the number of likes for a Page is actually a lot easier, you don´t need the insights for that, and only an App Access Token:

https://graph.facebook.com/giftoflife

You only need a User or Page Token for that if the Page is restricted (age/country).

If you want to get access to Insights, make sure you got a Page Access Token with the read_insights permission. You can debug your Access Token here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
