require 'open-uri'
module SocialUtils
def self.get_facebook_shares(url)

response = f.read()
shares = JSON.parse(response)['shares']
return shares.nil? ? 0 : JSON.parse(response)['shares']
end
def self.get_twitter_shares(url)
f = open("http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=#{url}")
return JSON.parse(f.read())['count']
end
def self.get_pinterest_shares(url)
f = open("http://api.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?url=#{url}")
return JSON.parse(f.read().gsub('receiveCount(','').gsub(')',''))['count']
end
def self.get_linkedin_shares(url)
f = open("http://www.linkedin.com/countserv/count/share?url=#{url}&format=json")
return JSON.parse(f.read())['count']
end
def self.get_stumbleupon_shares(url)
f = open("http://www.stumbleupon.com/services/1.01/badge.getinfo?url=#{url}")
response = f.read()
views = JSON.parse(response)['result']['views']
return views.blank? ? 0 : JSON.parse(response)['result']['views']
end
def self.get_googleplus_shares(url)
f = open("https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/fastbutton?url=#{URI::encode(url)}")
response = f.read()
shares = response[/window.__SSR = {c\: \d+.\d+/]
