Centric Pro Social Media API call/requests

[bluebird]

Hi,

I am working with the Centric Pro theme and I am attempting to create several API callback requests from several social media sites to display likes and followers. Instead of creating a separate page template, I have decided to display the results on the front page via the 3rd available widget (that is where I put the HTML with it's associated #wrapper id). I have two javascript files queued via functions.php like so:

wp_enqueue_script( 'social-counters', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/socialCounters.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'social-counter-functions', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/socialCounterFunctions.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0', true );

So far so good (for the social media sites that I have registered applications &/or acquired access tokens), though Twitter requires two additional php files to be functional and I am not certain how to queue them properly (I'm still relatively new at this).  What I have tried so far is to place a Twitter folder in the root of the Centric Pro theme, along with this code in the functions.php (which shows no errors in the console, but is not working):

function link_twitter() { ?>
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
console.log("here");
$('.home').load('twitter/index.php');
$('.home').load('twitter/twitterAPIExchange.php');
alert("finished loading");
});
});
</script>
<?php }
`

Could anyone tell me if I am on the right track? I've searched around quite a bit and have not been able to find a solution.

Here is the site that I'm working on:

Another thought had just crossed my mind: Could the reason that the Twitter API call fails be related to my sub-domain being http rather than https? I did try all of the associated code in another (non-Wordpress) test site via a local MAMP server and it works there when I test it locally.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
