Character Count for Twitter API?

I've been testing Twitter API, but it seems to be lacking a character counter. Is there a way to insert a character counter on Twitter API? I've seen a lot of character counters around but there's zero guidelines on how to use it with Twitter API.

Food for thought - kill two birds with one stone and type in MS Word first. Can count characters and spell check

Thank you very much for pointing that out. Wondering why you felt the need to do it.

In answer to the question....

You'll have to do the character counting on your end before the data is sent to the twitter API.
