Not to worry! This is not a bug, nor are your share buttons broken. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.twitter.com\/2015\/hard-decisions-for-a-sustainable-platform\">Twitter announced<\/a> that they have removed\u00a0their share counts API effective on November 20th, 2015. Meaning, <strong>ALL<\/strong> share buttons on the market that rely on the Twitter share count endpoint will no longer provide\u00a0share counts. This includes Twitter&#8217;s own official tweet button.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter&#8217;s decision was driven to help scale and maintain the longevity of their platform. Although we are disappointed to see Twitter discontinue share counts, we understand their near-term decision and urge them to bring share counts back in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Twitter_No_More_Share_Counts_Bird_Alone_Shareaholic.jpeg\" alt=\"Twitter Share Counts\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Twitter_No_More_Share_Counts_Bird_Alone_Shareaholic.jpeg 2840w, https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Twitter_No_More_Share_Counts_Bird_Alone_Shareaholic-400x400.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Twitter_No_More_Share_Counts_Bird_Alone_Shareaholic-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Twitter_No_More_Share_Counts_Bird_Alone_Shareaholic-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Twitter_No_More_Share_Counts_Bird_Alone_Shareaholic-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Please keep in mind, this change will not affect other share button services (including\u00a0Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>As always, we continue to be on the lookout for the best possible solutions for you.
