Facebook API Check if Post Exists
I'm pulling back some data on my Facebook page posts via the graph method in my PHP page.

This all works because the post exists. But I need a method to check if the post exists and hasn't been deleted. Here is an example of a post I posted, then deleted.

It just brings back an error. I need a way in my php code to check. Is there no Facebook API call to check if exists?
