Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn share link count

Update

Unfortunately, Twitter share count is impossible with API 1.1

Ref: intgr/(number) is number of shares and all responses are in JSON

Facebook

http://graph.facebook.com/?id=http://{URL}

Returns:

{
   "id": "http://{URL}",
   "shares": intgr/(number)
}

Twitter

http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://{URL}

Returns:

{  
   "count": intgr/(number)
   "url":"http:\/\/{URL}\/"
}

v1.1 Update

Version 1.1 of Twitter API which does not support count.json. Thus, it will not be possible to retireve tweets counts. However, I figured out that Tweet Buttons use a custom endpoint to get these numbers.

Here's the new endpoint

https://cdn.syndication.twitter.com/widgets/tweetbutton/count.json?url={URL}

I am not sure whether Twitter will take this endpoint down, and replace it when they officially shutdown v 1.0, but it works.

LinkedIn

http://www.linkedin.com/countserv/count/share?url=http://{URL&format=json

Returns:

{
   "count": intgr/(number),
   "fCnt": "intgr/(number)",
   "fCntPlusOne":"intgr/(number) + 1", // increased by one
   "url":"http:\/\/{URL}"
}

Getting shares count with jQuery

Ref: for Twitter and linkdIn I had to add callback to get a response

HTML:

<p id="facebook-count"></p>
<p id="twitter-count"></p>
<p id="linkdin-count"></p>

JS:

$('#getJSON').click( function () {

    $('#data-tab').fadeOut();
    $URL = $('#urlInput').val();

    // Facebook Shares Count
    $.getJSON( 'http://graph.facebook.com/?id=' + $URL, function( fbdata ) {
        $('#facebook-count').text( 'The URL has ' + ReplaceNumberWithCommas(fbdata.shares) + ' shares count on Facebook')
    });

    // Twitter Shares Count
    $.getJSON( 'http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=' + $URL + '&callback=?', function( twitdata ) {
        $('#twitter-count').text( 'The URL has ' + ReplaceNumberWithCommas(twitdata.count) + ' shares count on Twitter')
    });

    // LinkIn Shares Count
    $.getJSON( 'http://www.linkedin.com/countserv/count/share?url=' + $URL + '&callback=?', function( linkdindata ) {
        $('#linkdin-count').text( 'The URL has ' + ReplaceNumberWithCommas(linkdindata.count) + ' shares count on linkdIn')
    });

    $('#data-tab').fadeIn();

});

Complete Fiddle

UPDATE:

Another Fiddle (returns the total shares across the 3 above)


This Javascript class will let you fetch share information from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Example of usage

<p>Facebook count: <span id="facebook_count"></span>.</p>
<p>Twitter count: <span id="twitter_count"></span>.</p>
<p>LinkedIn count: <span id="linkedin_count"></span>.</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var smStats=new SocialMediaStats('https://google.com/'); // Replace with your desired URL
    smStats.facebookCount('facebook_count'); // 'facebook_count' refers to the ID of the HTML tag where the result will be placed.
    smStats.twitterCount('twitter_count');
    smStats.linkedinCount('linkedin_count');    
</script>

Javascript Class For Getting URL Shares On Facebook, Twitter And LinkedIn


I found Answer ...!!!!!!!

Data URLs Here’s where you can find the data

Facebook    http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=YOURURL
Twitter http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=YOURURL
Google  https://clients6.google.com/rpc [see below for JSON-RPC]

Note: Since I’m using “dynamic,” this requires .NET 4.0. Also, I’m using the JavaScriptSerializer class which is officially depreciated, but will probably not actually be removed. You could also easily use Regex to get these simple values.*

int GetTweets(string url) {

    string jsonString = new System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString("http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=" + url);

    var json = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize(jsonString);
    int count = (int)json["count"]; 

    return count;
}

int GetLikes(string url) {

    string jsonString = new System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString("http://graph.facebook.com/?ids=" + url);

    var json = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize(jsonString);
    int count = json[url]["shares"];

    return count;
}

int GetPlusOnes(string url) {

    string googleApiUrl = "https://clients6.google.com/rpc"; //?key=AIzaSyCKSbrvQasunBoV16zDH9R33D88CeLr9gQ";

    string postData = @"[{""method"":""pos.plusones.get"",""id"":""p"",""params"":{""nolog"":true,""id"":""" + url + @""",""source"":""widget"",""userId"":""@viewer"",""groupId"":""@self""},""jsonrpc"":""2.0"",""key"":""p"",""apiVersion"":""v1""}]";

    System.Net.HttpWebRequest request = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create(googleApiUrl);
    request.Method = "POST";
    request.ContentType = "application/json-rpc";
    request.ContentLength = postData.Length;

    System.IO.Stream writeStream = request.GetRequestStream();
    UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
    byte[] bytes = encoding.GetBytes(postData);
    writeStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
    writeStream.Close();

    System.Net.HttpWebResponse response = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
    System.IO.Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
    System.IO.StreamReader readStream = new System.IO.StreamReader(responseStream, Encoding.UTF8);
    string jsonString = readStream.ReadToEnd();

    readStream.Close();
    responseStream.Close();
    response.Close();

    var json = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize(jsonString);
    int count = Int32.Parse(json[0]["result"]["metadata"]["globalCounts"]["count"].ToString().Replace(".0", ""));

    return count;}
