I wonder if it's still possible to use the Search API on client side using an AJAX call, C# would be fine too, but so far I'm finding a lot of talk about this but no code sample or any good instructions how this can be done,

Some sites like these are doing it but obviously this got way more complicated to do than before

I don't see any practice examples on https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/search

Any suggestions?

As you've discovered, Twitter has turned off the sharecount API - see https://twittercommunity.com/t/a-new-design-for-tweet-and-follow-buttons/52791/5 and https://blog.twitter.com/developer/en_us/a/2015/hard-decisions-for-a-sustainable-platform.html

There are some alternatives like https://opensharecount.com/

That works by continually searching the Twitter API and counting up all the shares that it sees.

  • Yes that's my point, that is what I'm trying to do - I want to search by shared URL and keep the counts in my database... but not sure how to use the APIs - the Twitter developer page does not seems to have any practical examples... – Yovav May 27 '17 at 05:10
