hzlzh Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) My bad, I thought all but google were working. But still, It would be nice if the author would pop in here and fix or offer an explanation of why the bit.ly and j.mp are not working. On my Mac, bit.ly and j.mp are not working. (They're the same company, so it's not surprising that the results are the same.) Like Gary mentioned above, there is a notification that the address was shortened and copied to the clipboard, but nothing is actually put on the clipboard. All the others (j.mp, v.gd, etc.) are working fine. I'm using OS X 10.8.5. works fine for me with 10.9 - only bit.ly tested so far. did I miss something? is there a way to link a hotkey directly to a service, so that I can skip the selection? thanks! Yep, definitely not Mavericks. Hzizh, any ideas? Is anyone else having the same problems? Hello every one, I'm here to fix and update this Workflow, I just test all the shorten URL services, only (bit.ly and j.mp) did not work well because it reach the limit link number. To solve this, you should better use your own (bit.ly and j.mp)API Key as I've said #41 this post. Edited December 5, 2013 by hzlzh Link to comment
jpmartin Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi, Great time saver! But if I wanted to include amzn.to (which is run on bitly) to shorten my amazon affiliate links... how can I include that? Link to comment

paulw Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 This is a great workflow. However, changing the sort order doesn't seem to be working. Link to comment
politicus Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Very useful workflow! Please add ow.ly url shortener. I do not really trust bit.ly (i.e. you can't delete your bit.ly account ). Thank you. Link to comment
Sido Weaver Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Love this workflow! That said, I'd love a couple of changes even more. Is there any way to simply have the one, two, or three services I use show up? That would be HUGE! Other than that, I don't really get how the ordering works. Currently, I have google with a zero, bitly with a two, and t.cn with a one. That's the only way I could get Bitly to show up first. Seems odd. Why wouldn't zero be the first one displayed, one the second one, etc.? Anwyays, thanks for everything! If there is a way to trim down the services available to me, that would be great.

roccitman Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Adding shortening with Droplr would be cool! :-) Second that! Link to comment
mwoerner Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The goo.gl option has stopped working & I'm using version 1.4. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment
roccitman Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Do the other ones still work? Where does it break down? Link to comment
mwoerner Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Wow, quick! The other services are working & I get the notification that the link has been copied to the clipboard but it is still the long link. Noticed it about a week or two ago. Have deleted the workflow & reinstalled the latest version. Thanks Edited March 25, 2015 by mwoerner Link to comment
mwoerner Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Also, the other services automagically paste the shortened url into what ever is at the front e.g. text document or url bar of browser. I'm sure the Google shortener used to do this as well. Link to comment
roccitman Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hmm. Any errors in console.app fire when you try? Can you try to paste the script into Script Editor.app and see if it compiles there? Link to comment
hzlzh Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Google shortener API need an OAuth way to use. https://developers.google.com/url-shortener/v1/getting_started#shorten We need to create a public API key here https://console.developers.google.com/project/1017111020150/apiui/credential Link to comment
hzlzh Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Do the other ones still work? Where does it break down? I just test, only Gooogle shorten failed. Link to comment
jtobar Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Any chance to get lrd.to supported? The good thing about that is led.to allows you to change the target. For example, lrd.to/myvideo can point to a new version of a video at youtube... which bit.ly can not do. Edited April 3, 2015 by jtobar Link to comment
jhnielson Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The others still seem to work, but Goo.GL doesn't work anymore ArturoAcevedoB 1 Link to comment
OmarKN Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi and good day HzlzH, Phantastic script! How would I have to tweak the script if I want to use my Branded Short Domain http://liv-isl.in/which redirects to bitly.com? What would I have to write together with the API key? I guess it would be somewhat like this row: 1 : {'api_url':'https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v3/shorten?format=json&login=hzlzh&apiKey=R_e8bcc43adaa5f818cc5d8a544a17d27d&longUrl=','title':'bit.ly','des':'http://bit.ly/'}, Also, could I then skip the step of the shorteners' list, if only 1 shortener is set and the other 5 or 6 are deleted?! / with best regards, Omar KN Stockholm, Sweden Link to comment
zimma187 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I can recommend in my opinion the best url shortener script available by Gem Pixel hosted here @ theurl.co , cheers Link to comment
OmarKN Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 @zimma187 do they have a script, too? nothing i can see on their page though, if you know :-) / with best regards, Omar KN Stockholm, Sweden Link to comment
Wheeles Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hi. When using the workflow it is not adding the shortened URL to the clipboard - http://take.ms/PKqyk Any advice? Thanks, Jason Link to comment
DJay Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Any chance for one of the talented guys here to get tiny.cc into this workflow ? Or create a own workflow maybe even shorten with custom hash find in the API Doc. http://tiny.cc/?c=rest_api&m=shorten&version=2.0.3&format=json&longUrl=urlencode('http://example.com')&login=tinyccapidemo&apiKey=YourKey API Docs: http://tiny.cc/api-docs Would be awesome. Edited November 27, 2015 by DJay Link to comment
PBear Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Same as Wheeles, it says it has copied the link in the clipboard, but it actually copied nothing. Has someone fixed it ? Link to comment
jenz Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Perhaps someone has already pointed this out, but in case not... The way I got the Google shorter to start working again, was to generate my own API key (you'll need to do that in your Google Developer account — set one up if you need to) and add it to the scripting in this Workflow, as follows: Change this: 0 : {'api_url':'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url','title':'goo.gl','des':'http://goo.gl/'}, to this: 0 : {'api_url':'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=YOUR-API-KEY','title':'goo.gl','des':'http://goo.gl/'}, It now works just fine. I also added my own API key to the bit.y and j.mp shorteners. Apparently the API used (by the kind developer of this workflow) was reaching its limit. Now those two services also work again.

magician Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Is it possible to add/use the http://zuf.ioshortener? Link to comment
