Are you looking for this?

If you are searching for the text value, you can search the following line in the source code of the url:

<div id="aggregateCount" class="Oy">{NUMBER_OF_SHARES}</div>

The following JavaScript will extract the number of shares from the url:

parseInt(document.getElementById('aggregateCount').innerHTML.replace('.',''))
