title: Difficulty getting google plus one count
body: <p>I have been searching all over the internet on how to get programaticaly google plus one button count.
  Finally i found this <a href="http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/blog/google_plus_one_button_seo_count_api/comment-page-1/" rel="nofollow">article</a> 
  Here is the Php Script mentioned in the arcticle.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  
   $url = "http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/";
  
   $ch = curl_init();   
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://clients6.google.com/rpc?key=AIzaSyCKSbrvQasunBoV16zDH9R33D88CeLr9gQ"); 
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '[{"method":"pos.plusones.get","id":"p","params":{"nolog":true,"id":"' . $url . '","source":"widget","userId":"@viewer","groupId":"@self"},"jsonrpc":"2.0","key":"p","apiVersion":"v1"}]');
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json'));
  
  
   $curl_results = curl_exec ($ch);
   curl_close ($ch);
  
   $parsed_results = json_decode($curl_results, true);
  
   echo $parsed_results[0]['result']['metadata']['globalCounts']['count'];

  <p>I tried everything,i have been sitting on it for 3 hours but could get it to work.
  But it seems to work for him perfectly fine.It is perfectly straight forward and simple script.</p>
  
  <p>I even used firebug to examine the requests.I tried substituting the post data value with one i found .</p>
  
  <pre><code>[{"method":"pos.plusones.get","id":"pos.plusones.get","params":{"cdx":"cb4","id":"http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/google_plus_one_api_example.php","source":"widget","container":"http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/google_plus_one_api_example.php","userId":"@viewer","groupId":"@self"},"jsonrpc":"2.0","key":"pos.plusones.get","apiVersion":"v1"}]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I dont have a clue where am i going wrong.Its just a simple code.</p>
