I would like to be able to check if a visitor has liked an arbitrary site. That is, without have to get permissions or login or interact any way with Facebook from our site.

At first I thought I could use FQL but I need access to the visitors user id. Then I thought maybe I could scrape the Like box but I don't seem to be able to scrape it as that iFrame is locked down.

Not possible?

This is not possible.

The only way to do this was for the user to login and you check data in /me/likes which is gated behind the user_likes permission.

However, it is now against Facebook's policies to gate an app or app content based on if a person has liked something, so your use case isn't supported technically or by policy.
