Update share count without vising post link

    Hi there, was wondering if someone could help me with this,

    Short version: is there a way to update the share count meta without visiting the original post URL?

    Details:
    I’m currently pulling my WordPress post data via the WordPress REST API (e.g https://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts), this is similar to the RSS feed.

    Currently all posts are viewed on a separate front end on a separate site and only pull post data via the REST feed. This means that MashShare doesn’t check any new share counts because the actual WP post URL isn’t viewed.

    E.g:
    blog-front-end.com – where all the posts get viewed, separate from WordPress
    wp-back-end.com – where all the posts are stored

    Is there any way for MashShare to work in this scenario? Does the original wp-back-end.com link only need to be viewed once and will continue to update?
