= ShortURL 1.0.0
== Summary ShortURL is a very simple library to use URL shortening services.
== Installation ShortURL is available as a gem, installation is just like any other gem: $ gem install shorturl
You can also download the tar.bz2 archive at http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=732 if you do not want to use the gem.
== Supported services Here is the list of the services supported by ShortURL:
== Usage: call-seq: require "shorturl" puts ShortURL.shorten("http://mypage.com") puts ShortURL.shorten("http://mypage.com", :moourl)
The second parameter represents the service you want to use. These are:
You can use ShortURL.valid_services to obtain a list of the valid services (in case I forget to update the documentation)
Their API changed to require an API key.
Two painfree steps to fix this.
1) Get yours easily right now from:
http://bitly.com/a/your_api_key
2) Save it in ~/.shorturl similar to this YAML template:
--- Start of file ~/.shorturl ---
bitly: username: O_adsfasdfasfasfd key: R_afasdfasdfasdf
--- END of file ~/.shorturl ---
You're done! Have a martini. Cheers.
