Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

Notice

Do not run this against minified JavaScript packages. The minified packages often rely on line returns to execute correctly.

This regular expression was designed to minify simple JavaScript.

Regular Expression

(?s)[\t\r\n]|[ ][ ]+|/\*.*?\*/*

I put spaces in square brackets as a reminder that they exist. Spaces can be important. For example, $( "#foo #bar" ) should not become $("#foo#bar"). However, we do want to remove spaces if they are used for indentation.
