Basically we're pulling in posts from Google+ via the API and displaying them on the front-end of our website. Initially, I thought there'd be a way to +1 a post via Google's API but that doesn't seem to be possible.
My question is:
Is there a way to +1 a Google+ post via the +1 Button? (https://developers.google.com/+/web/+1button/)
When I add the post link as the href to be +1'd, clicking the button seems to +1 the page the post is on and not the post that I want to +1.
e.g:
<div data-href="https://plus.google.com/105006372004430064055/posts/J8ByfBamiGf" class="g-plusone" data-size="medium" data-annotation="none"></div>
A potential though undesirable solution is to use Embedded Posts (https://developers.google.com/+/web/embedded-post/) but then I don't have control over styling and layout.
+1's of a URL and +1's of a Google+ post are tallied separately.
You can file a feature request if you would like to see better integration.
