Thank you

Thanks for signing up for domain with Twitter account @.

(Other domains registered with @ will no longer work. Use multiple Twitter accounts if you have multiple domains.)

To begin using OpenShareCount, follow these instructions:

OpenShareCount with a standard Twitter button:

Copy the code and paste it into the source of your website, right after the code for the existing Twitter button and don't forget to sign up first or it won't work.

Large bubble (goes with large button):

0

Small bubble (goes with standard size button):

0

Advanced usage: Put in data-url="http://link_goes_here" if you want to show the count for a particular link instead of for the current page. Change the value for data-dir to 'right', 'top' or 'bottom' to make the bubble point in a different direction, and/or add data-width="..." or data-height="..." to change the width or height of the bubble.

Large bubble pointing downwards, showing the count for http://leadstories.com:

0

OpenShareCount with a custom Twitter button:

To use the OpenShareCount API, replace calls to Twitter’s old link with calls to OpenShareCount’s:

  • Check the source code of the twitter button you are using, and look for “http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=”
  • Replace this with “http://opensharecount.com/count.json?url=” and if you see anything looking like "&callback=?" at the end remove that part.
  • If you see any references to 'jsonp' in the code related to the Twitter count, change that to 'json'.
  • Don't forget to sign up first or it won't work!
  • That’s it!

IMPORTANT: if you leave the 'jsonp' or the '&callback=?' parts in, we reserve the right to block requests for your domain until you make changes. Such requests can't be cached and they slow things down for us and for your users.

Note: The first request to get the count for a specific URL will always return '0'. It can take between five minutes and one hour to get the actual count.

You can always test a URL in your browser: http://opensharecount.com/count.json?url=...

If you get an error about your domain not being authorized yet, simply sign up again for the correct domain. Note: due to caching it may take up to one hour for the error message to go away

To stop using OpenShareCount, go in the settings section of your Twitter account and disable the OpenShareCount app
