How it works - behind the scenes
1) Our research team collects the data from the most reliable sources. These sources are then continuously monitored in order to track any changes and update the algorithm accordingly.
2) The initial data and projections are passed along to our analysts who run statistical analysis and finalize the current estimated rate of change per second which will form the initial basis of the algorithm.
3) Each counter loads the corresponding data from the algorithm hosted on our central servers and shows the current count as it changes in real time.
By licensing Worldometers counters, each client gets the benefits of Worldometers research, analysis, proprietary scripts, and data feed. By being connected to our central server, the counters will be automatically updated every time there is new data available which requires a recalibration.
How it works - technical details
The system (JavaScript+HTML on the client-side and PHP as a service) can be implemented on any web site connected to the internet.
Technically, it consists of two snippets of code (plus a jQuery script reference, if needed):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. place in the web page:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<script type="text/javascript"> var rts_configuration =
{
RTS_key: 'Key-Provided-to-Licensed-Client'
}
</script>
<script src="http://www.realtimestatistics.net/rts/RTSp.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. place where you want the counter to appear:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<span class="rts-counter" rel="current_population"></span>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
JavaScript API
Upon request, we can implement and provide a JavaScript API with several API functions so 3rd party developers can override methods responsible for counters redrawing or utilize several callbacks that would be called every time a new value for a particular counter is produced. This would allow for potential manipulations of the figures, modified visual representations of the values, etc.
API for other platforms
Upon request, we can also implement an API for various other platforms (including desktop applications).
