Solution

If you can find an API that will give you social share counts from a given URL, you can make a request to it from a JS function, and get the data back. You can call this JS function from getInitialProps.

See: "Data Fetching: getInitialProps | Next.js" https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/data-fetching/getInitialProps

Taken from the docs:

function Page({ stars }) { 
  return <div>Next stars: {stars}</div> 
} 

Page.getInitialProps = async (ctx) => { 
  const res = await fetch('https://api.github.com/repos/vercel/next.js');
  const json = await res.json();
  return { stars: json.stargazers_count }
}

 export default Page
