Hello,

First of all: I am new here on the list. I am a long-term Drupal
developer and am currently working on some Ruby on Rails and Diaspora
social stuff; related to status.net microblogging. 

My first question: :)

Is there a way to retrieve the amount of times a certain URL was
"dented" (shared on identi.ca, status.net and/or the likes?).

For twitter there are several services that give this information.

      * Twitter
        itself: 
http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://example.com&callback=twttr.receiveCount
      * Tweetmeme: 
http://api.tweetmeme.com/url_info.jsonc?url=http://example.com
      * Topsy: http://otter.topsy.com/stats.js?url=http://example.com&callback=?

I don't need the fancy extra information that Tweetmeme or Topsy
deliver, only the amount.

I am aware that this is problematic, seen from the "distributed" nature
of status.net: it will only give a count from once single silo, e.g.
identi.ca. However, for me, for now, that would be enough.

Is there such an endpoint that gives me such JSON?

Or do I need to go down the Salmon-lane and extract+record such info
from a PuS-hub?

Kind regards,
