node-google-url

A NodeJS module to interface with Google's URL shortening service.

About

This library implements a client to consume the API (most of it) documented at https://developers.google.com/url-shortener/v1/getting_started#shorten

It supports the following actions:

Shorten URL Expand Shortened URL Get Analytics for Shortened URL

Authentication

The three actions supported by this library do not require an API key, but Google recommends getting one here: https://code.google.com/apis/console

Usage

 
var GoogleUrl = require( 'google-url' );
 
googleUrl = new GoogleURL();
 
// OR
 
googleUrl = new GoogleURL( { key: 'Your Real Key Here' });
 
googleUrl.shorten( 'http://bluerival.com/', function( err, shortUrl ) {
  // shortUrl should be http://goo.gl/BzpZ54
} );
 
googleUrl.shorten( 'http://goo.gl/BzpZ54', function( err, longUrl ) {
  // longUrl should be http://bluerival.com/
