    https://clients6.google.com/rpc?key=AIzaSyCKSbrvQasunBoV16zDH9R33D88CeLr9gQ
    POST Body:
    [{"method":"pos.plusones.get","id":"p","params":{"nolog":true,"id":"%%URL%%","source":"widget","userId":"@viewer","groupId":"@self"},"jsonrpc":"2.0","key":"p","apiVersion":"v1"}]
    [{"method":"pos.plusones.get","id":"p","params":{"nolog":true,"id":"%%URL%%","source":"widget","userId":"@viewer","groupId":"@self"},"jsonrpc":"2.0","key":"p","apiVersion":"v1"}]

    https://plusone.google.com/u/0/_/+1/fastbutton?count=true&url=%%URL%%
    + shows counter, you can parse html (div#aggregateCount)

    $google_request = file_get_contents('https://plusone.google.com/u/0/_/+1/fastbutton?count=true&url='.$url);
    $plusone_count = preg_replace('/(.*)<div id="aggregateCount" class="t1">(([0-9])*)<\/div>(.*)/is','$2',$google_request);
