How to get twitter URL count?

Question

I've got the following code, and I cannot understand as to why it isn't returning and printing it in the HTML body..

var pageURL = document.URL;
var tweet  = "https://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url='"+ pageURL + "'";

$.getJSON(tweet,function(json){
    $('#twitterfeed').html(json.count); 
});

<div id="twitterfeed"></div>

https://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://www.google.com

returns {"count":23844636,"url":"http://www.google.com/"}

The following doesn't seem to work, does anyone have any idea as to why?

As of 20th November 2015 there's no Tweet count API, so don't bother: https://blog.twitter.com/2015/hard-decisions-for-a-sustainable-platform
