Action Estimate

The Action Estimate of a given action spec is an approximation of the number of actions this action_spec defines given current activity on Facebook. It also includes the number of actors who are making those actions and the number of friends those actors have.

Note : When querying an action estimate for a newly created Open Graph object there can be a delay of a few hours to a day before the Action Estimate service has enough data to return a non-zero action estimate result.
