how to get facebook shares, comments, like count for youtube videos?

Question

I know how to query the social engagement counts for a regular website. It can be pretty easily achieved with the facebook graph explorer (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/) or throug api's. As path I supply the url of an object, e.g. an website e.g. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.manuelfink.de&version=v2.0

However if I try the same for a youtube movie https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBpxVIwCbBK0&version=v2.0 it allways returns me the shared count of https://www.youtube.com/watch.

Is it possible to get the facebook shared/likes count for an youtube movie?

Thx, I really appreciate your help!

For share and like count, I think you can find an answer in the following questions on SO: Get top videos on facebook/twitter, which is based on How do you get the total likes for a URL (Likes and Shares)?, and How to get share counts using graph API. Remember that a Youtube video has more than a possible url, so you may have to make several queries with different urls for the same video. I am not sure you can get the comments, but you can try with how can I get all comments from a url in facebook?
