To get the label count (post number per label) outside the widget, you need to use JavaScript.

This is the simple JavaScript snippet: store the pair of the “Label Name / Count” from the Labels widget into an object (aka associative array).

JavaScript

var labelCounts = {};
var label = document.getElementById('Label1');
// 'div ul li' is for List, 'div>span' is for Cloud 
var elms = label.querySelectorAll('div ul li, div>span');
[].forEach.call(elms, function(elm) {
  if (elm.childElementCount == 2) {
    labelCounts[elm.children[0].innerHTML] = Number(elm.children[1].innerHTML.replace(/[()]/g, ''));
  }
});

Then, you can get the count of labelName by:

JavaScript

labelCounts["labelName"]

Prerequisite

1. Labels widget ID is “Label1”.
2. Check “Show number of posts per label” in “Configure Labels”.
