I have read through graph API document, and tried the following queries:

curl https://graph.facebook.com/search\?type\=checkin\&place.name\=Dante+Coffee\&access_token\=...

The access_token is valid. But it shows nothing like this:

{"data":[]}

I guess I only have the permission to access checkins sent from the owner of this access_token. And since I have never checkin this place, I got zero data from this query. But is it possible to get the total number of checkins with a place name by Facebook Graph API?

Although the FB docs say that Checkins are searchable, /search?q=woolwich&type=checkin gives me an error (#615) The checkin table does not support search..

But Places are searchable and the Place object has a checkins field (see /205142516170657?fields=checkins) - this should give you what you want.
