    [Workflow]Shorten URL (support goo.gl/ bit.ly/ t.cn/ j.mp/ is.gd/ v.gd/)

    in Share your Workflows

    Posted

    Su.pr and Brb.bz are two of the best link shorteners on the market. (Along with bit.ly and goo.gl, which you already have.) It would be pretty cool to have those options as well.

     

    Another request I could make is when using bit.ly if there could be a way to add notes (#tags) to the link while shortening (saving) it? Say I'd like to save (and shorten) a link to bit.ly using the workflow I could add some tags to make that link easily searchable when logged into the bit.ly website. I don't know if it's possible, but it could save me a bit of time of entering the tags manually. 

     

    All in all this is one of the workflows I use the most on a daily basis. Keep up the good work and thanks in advance!! 

    Thx, I've checked the two URL services Su.pr and Brb.bz.

     

    you can change some code in this workflow so that it can work for su.pr,

     

    so I made this for you: Shorten URL(with su.pr).alfredworkflow

    since Brb.bz need an API key, you need to get one below:

    Can you provide some insight into how to implement the API key for Goo.gl? 

     

    I've changed the Google entry as follows:

     

     

    api = {
    0 : {'api_url':'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=<my_actual_api_key>','title':'goo.gl','des':'http://goo.gl/'},
    ...
     
    and I still get a shortened URL but it doesn't show up in my account so I don't think the association is being made.
     
    Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
     
    Thanks,

    You can get an API key follow this post below:

    for more info, check goo.gl's docs:

    I would love this functionality. I've been able to cut things down to only one API, but cannot figure out what to change to make it go straight to shortened URL (gave up after an hour of trying). I like that if nothing is highlighted it would bring up a pop up to enter text. So maybe if there is a URL highlighted it shortens it, and otherwise it will pop up the box to enter the text?

     

    Either way - loving this!

    It's really need by some users to shorten URL just use only one service (e.g. goo.gl), so I thought to make another single workflow will solve this. I'll have a try.
