php - Facebook Graph API - delete like

Question

I'm developing an app for Facebook in PHP, part of which lists the user's "likes". I would like to add a link next to each like so that the user can manage their likes by deleting them where they see fit.

Facebook mentions this in their graph api docs:

You can delete a like by issuing a DELETE request to /POST_ID/likes (since likes don't have an ID).

But each like must have an id - how else would you delete it?

Has anyone done this before?

Answer 1

It's not the 'like' that has an ID, it's the post - which is why the api call uses '/POST_ID/likes' as a target - if you delete '/POST_ID', it'll get rid of the post, but if you delete '/POST_ID/likes' it'll get rid of the user's 'like' for that post.
