Twitter share counts using OpenShareCount.com

Hi,

We tried this service, but it doesn’t seem to be returning Tweet counts. Had you tested any url with this and was it working? We will consider this in upcoming releases.

I have not tested it on my website yet. All I have done is checking out if it works by loading two URLs, the www.ads-software.com and the opensharecount.com.

These is the data that it shows:
* https://opensharecount.com/count.json?url=https://www.ads-software.com/
* https://opensharecount.com/count.json?url=https://opensharecount.com/

You can see that the www.ads-software.com URL has a share count of 0, because the website needs to be authorized on OpenShareCount first. Share count for their URL is working, therefore I presume that it should work for any other authorized website.

Try adding this counter as an option in the plugin, with a note to authorize a website in order for it to work.

Okay, thanks for the info. We will add it in next release.

Hi, guys.

Could I also offer newsharecounts.com as an option?

It works in a similar way, requiring you to authorize with Twitter and add your website.

However, there are quite a few unique features it offers, like tracking up to 1000 websites and faster detection of new shares. Plus, it has lots of historic share counts, collected on Nov 2015:

https://public.newsharecounts.com/count.json?url=https://google.com

I’m happy to answer any questions or provide assistance.

Thanks!

Hi @brugeman,

We will consider this too. Thanks.

Both of these options are now available from version 7.0 just released.
