Answer 1

If you do not need to get the reference to the people who liked it you can go with the endpoint:

v2.5/{object-id}/likes?limit=0&summary=true

This will return the data array empty and add a summary to the end of the response string:

"summary": {
"total_count": 78476,
"can_like": true,
"has_liked": false
}

To get all likes query:

v2.5/{object-id}/likes?limit=1000

the response will contain an array of "id", "name" sets of the "likers". Beneath this you will find the paging array with the "next" element. There is the full query url provided for a new api call. If you use a SDK there is also within the paging array the property after. Just add this to the next call, like

v2.5/{object-id}/likes?limit=1000&after={after-parameter-from-call-before}
