This Python script is designed to process HTTP Archive (HAR) files exported from Bitly and extract short link data from them. It offers the flexibility to export the extracted data either to JSON format or to a SQLite database.
The script assumes that the input HAR file contains network traffic data captured from interactions with the Bitly API, specifically focusing on requests related to Bitlinks.
