  • _self_/_current_: More/Request/JSONP

How to use

First you need to follow Bitly instructions on how to register an application.
You can read about at http://dev.bitly.com/my_apps.html

As a simple example, you could use the following lines at Document Head:
It requires More/Request.JSONP class to work.

<html>
    <head>
        <title>My Fantastic Facebook App</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="mootools-core.js" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="mootools-more.js" /> <!-- Request.JSONP class required -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="MooBitly.js" />

        [... whatever else you have in your document head]
    </head>

    <body>
        <!-- Your html code -->
    </body>
</html>

then use the Bitly app login and apiKey to create an instance of MooBitly this way:
var moobitly = new MooBitly('myLogin', 'myApiKey');

The complete documentation of Bitly API can be found at:
http://dev.bitly.com/links.html

How To Make Api Calls

After you MooBitly instace is created, you can call for api methods, like expand, info, lookup and shorten.
All these methods expect a function to be called at onComplete event of the request made.

moobitly.shorten('http://www.mywebsiteurl.com', null, function(response) {
    // Do something with api response here...
});


The MooBitly.js file is well documented with info of each method argument.

MooBitly also has a caching feature if you use the id argument of methods, you can retrieve/remove the response of that call later.

Qrcode

There is a (maybe not well known) Bitly feature for shortened url's, and this that Bitly can return QRcode image of shortened url's.

To generate a QR code, simply append .qrcode to the end of any bitly link. For example: http://bit.ly/3eI7.qrcode
QR codes of different sizes can be generated by adding ?s={size} to the QR code URL.
A QR code of the closest standard size (in pixels) will be returned.

Examples:
<img src="http://bit.ly/cmeH01.qrcode" />
<img src="http://bit.ly/cmeH01.qrcode?s=1000" /> <!-- For a 1000px (square) size image -->
