I want to see how many tweets does a link have. For Facebook, you can use FQL to get the number of Likes each page has.
Is there a page in the Twitter API documentations that describe how to do this?
Note that beyond these limits on the number of requests, the Standard Basic level of access provides up to 500,000 Tweets per month from the recent search and filtered stream endpoints.
You can find the number of Tweets for a hashtag by tracking them using a hashtag tracking tool such as Trackmyhashtag. It is an amazing Twitter hashtag counting or hashtag tracking tool which allows you to count or find the total number of tweets for a hashtag.
To access your Tweet activity: On a desktop or laptop computer, visit analytics.twitter.com and click on Tweets. In the Twitter app for iOS or Android, tap the analytics icon visible in your Tweets.
This seems to work, without authentication:
http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=example.com
For example, to get the number of tweets for this random page on mashable:
http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2F2012%2F01%2F21%2Ftop-10-tech-this-week-13
Returns the following JSON:
{"count":1204,"url":"http://mashable.com/2012/01/21/top-10-tech-this-week-13/"}
