Extract counter number
Hey there,
I would like to use number of shares on my web in different way. Is there any call function that returns the number of shares ? Or is there any posible way to extract it using javascript ?
Thank you.
Yes, you can use our Analytics API to get the number of shares for your site broken down by various dimensions. However, I would not recommend using Javascript to get the data since the API uses your email/password and you shouldn't put that in plain text where someone could steal it. The calls to the Analytics API should be made server-side. Here is the full documentation on the API:

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

I was playing with the api for a while, but still cannot achieve what I want. Could I contact you personally to email or IM service and talk about it ? Thank you Sol.
To pull the share count for a specific URL you can call this URL:
http://api-public.addthis.com/url/shares.json?url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~paul%2Fscratchpad.html
Replace http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~paul%2Fscratchpad.html with the encoded URL you'd like the count for. This will return the number of counts as a JSON variable
http://api-public.addthis.com/url/shares.json?url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~paul%2Fscratchpad.html
Replace http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~paul%2Fscratchpad.html with the encoded URL you'd like the count for. This will return the number of counts as a JSON variable
