An extensible wrapper around URL Shorteners
Tiny is an extensible wrapper for URL Shorteners. It can currently shorten links for Googl and bitly. If you use a different service writing a wrapper is as easy as conforming to the NTAURLShortenerService protocol and it’s two required methods.
Tiny is named after Nate Tiny Archibald, a former American professional basketball player. He spent 14 years playing in the NBA, most notably with the Cincinnati Royals, Kansas City - Omaha Kings and Boston Celtics. In 1991 he was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Tiny provides two objects that conform to the NTAURLShortenerService protocol, BitlyURLShortenerService and GooglURLShortenerService. Simply create a service object with any required data (an access token in bitlys case) and pass it to Tiny. Tiny provides a single class method that does all the work you need to get shortened URLs back. All in all this is what a general usage would look like
GooglURLShortenerService *service = [GooglURLShortenerService service];
[Tiny shortenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://google.com"] withService:service completion:^(NSURL *shortURL, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Short URL - %@", shortURL);
}];It’s that easy.
