Massive kudos to Daniel Crenna and Tweetsharp, upon which most of this was based.

Usage

Here's a quick example of shortening a URL using Open Bitly within a class named LinkService:

  • Inject an instance of IBitlyService and IBitlyOptionFactory into LinkService

  • Instantiate a ShortenUrlOptions object with the long url

  • Pass the ShortenUrlOptions to the service

  • Return the short url from the response

      public LinkService(IBitlyService bitlyService, IBitlyOptionFactory bitlyOptionFactory)
  {
    this.bitlyService = bitlyService;
    this.bitlyOptionFactory = bitlyOptionFactory;
  }

  public string ShortenUrl(string fullUrl)
  {
    var options = bitlyOptionFactory.CreateShortenUrlOptions(HttpUtility.UrlEncode(fullUrl));
    var response = bitlyService.ShortenUrl(options);
    return response.Data.Url;
  }
