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/
} );
googleUrl.analytics( 'http:/goo.gl/BzpZ54', function( err, results ) {
/* format of results will be:
