Google has yet to release its official Google+ API. Until that occurs, the only way to obtain the circle count and profile image is to scrape the Google+ profile page for those items. However, in Google’s constant refinement of their product, they are often changing the underlying code and therefore requiring updates to the widget to account for those changes. We anticipate Google to stabilize this soon and release the API for Google+. Until then, we are updating our widget as needed and as quickly as possible to keep up with their changes.
My apologies for the inconvenience, but rest assured we will continue to update the widget and as soon as the stable API release occurs, we will release a version that uses it.
