Feedburner's API Alternative

[jacobjohn2012]

Hello Guys,

I was using facebook, twitter, google plus & feedburner counts using their respective APIs to reduce the external request and site load time of http://mixsms.com but in October 2012 Google shutdown the feedburner api and currently there isn't any alternative of that as far I searched.

Here we can have the feedburner subscriber counts but I just want a guideline how to read data from image?

Thanks in advance.

You can use an OCR program,

i.e. GOCR (http://jocr.sourceforge.net/)

On linux you can use wget to get the GIF
convert the GIF to a PNM file (using giftopnm)
and than using PNM file with above OCR program

I tested above, there might be shorter/quicker ways to do this ;)

This seems to be an alternative:
