How to query number of liveblog entries for a given post?

Do you have normal comments on liveblog posts too, or are those disabled?

At the moment they are disabled, but eventually I will be using normal comments and would like to distinguish between the two.

@eschickel, currently there isn’t specific API for getting the count, but you can use the following code:

function get_liveblog_entries_count_for_post_id( $post_id ) {
    $query = new WPCOM_Liveblog_Entry_Query( $post_id, WPCOM_Liveblog::key );
    return count( $query->get_all() );
}

If you’re using an object cache it would be pretty fast. It’s calling get_comments() once under the hood, so it shouldn’t be too slow in any case.

Thanks!
