Questions about Boosted Facebook Posts

Question

I am trying to figure out if the following is possible through the various Facebook APIs:

• Create a message on the page via the API (I know that is possible :)
• Enlarge this post through the ads API (I read that it’s possible, but I can’t really find an API that would allow me to do this. If you know this, please indicate this! Thanks!)
• After the promotion, is there a way I can get the increased message information from the original message? I guess it once went up, post reinforcement is a different version of the original post, right?
• I can get message stats through the Insight API, and I can get increased visitor stats through the various ad statistics APIs. Only message statistics apply to the message, and increased message statistics apply only to the reinforced post, or are they all the same set of characteristics that applies to both?

Thank Advance
