Feature-Request: TinyURL replacement #19

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Call on the TinyURL API to replace the long URL of the string to a 
tinyurl.
2. twitter.api(user, password, argv.sys[1]) 
3. ' check my site at http://www.google.com/?translate....' -> ' check my 
site at http://tinyurl.com/asDsKJ1'

Looking around I found that is rather simple since TinyURL has an API on 
itself.

Only thing needed would be a return function that replace the long url 
with it's tinyurl.

Seems like a useful feature, but does it belong in the Twitter API wrapper 
itself?

I think it does since the goal is to make it as usable as possible. Having long 
urls
and having the message default to error because the URL is too long seems like 
a bug
to me. Having this small yet useful thing will seems like a error handler 
(preventer). 

Alternatively I would like to see the message gets split into sequential 
messages.
Usually that's the way SMS works once u exceed a certain number, the message 
will
split  the messsage between the number of SMS necessary.

@acolorado
About splitting messages, acolorado, you can check issue 40. I made a little 
patch
and placed there.
On wrapping tinyurl, does not seem to be difficult! Maybe on that spare time?
:)

Find a patch attached for simple function to accomplish this. 

Call api.ShortenUrl([url]) and a string is returned of the tinyurl for that 
URL.
