Answer 1

This works perfectly with me:

fields=shares,created_time,comments.summary(true).limit(0)

This return comments count at summary and return 0 comments at the same time which is perfect as you only need the comment count.

Answer 2

You can do such requests:

{pageid}/posts?fields=comments.summary(1){id}

It will return a list of posts including comments count of each post. Here I have returned only the comment id because I only need the number of comments per post, but of course you can include many other fields:

{pageid}/posts?fields=comments.summary(1){id,message},id

Answer 3
