how to call php function inside functions.php wordpress

Question

I have a lot of functions in my functions.php and need to call them directly inside functions.php. I did this in this way but admin panel started to work very slowly when am calling functions in this way:

function setTumblrShares($tumblrUrl){  
    global $wpdb; 
    $shareTmbArgs = array(
       'posts_per_page' => -1,
       'offset' => 0,
       'order' => 'DESC',
       'orderby'  => 'date',
       'post_type' => 'video', 
       'post_status' => 'publish',
       'suppress_filters' => 0 
   );
   $shareTumblrCountList = get_posts($shareTmbArgs);
   if ($shareTumblrCountList) {
      foreach ($shareTumblrCountList as $shareTumblrCountItem) {
        $tumblrUrl = get_permalink($shareTumblrCountItem->ID); 
        $shareTumbData = getTumblrShares($tumblrUrl);
        $tumblrShares = $shareTumbData["response"]["note_count"]; 
        $table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "posts";
        $wpdb->update( $table_name, array( 'tumblrShareCount' => $tumblrShares),array('ID'=>$shareTumblrCountItem->ID));
      } 
   }
}
function getTumblrShares($tumblrUrl){  
   $jsonForReddit =  json_decode(file_get_contents("http://api.tumblr.com/v2/share/stats?url=".$tumblrUrl),true);
   return $jsonForReddit;
} 
add_action('admin_menu', 'setTumblrShares');

If memory size is the problem, you can increase the size from php.ini file.but can you describe what you are trying to achieve, I do not want to understand it from your code. — Prafulla Kumar Sahu

If you want to call some function inside your functions.php use the related hook or visit actions and filters and also consider checking your templates and find which hook should be used for calling which functions , you if want to modify the output use filter and if you want to perform some action use action.Depending open the job you need to use the hooks.

add_action('admin_init', 'setTumblrShares');
