In my Wordpress Blog I'm currently using an integrated http://U.nu url-shortener. For this I've got in functions.php function getunuUrl($url) { $unuurl = file_get_contents("http://u.nu/unu-api-simple?url=".$url); return $unuurl; } and in my post.php <?php $uurl = getunuUrl(get_permalink($post->ID)); echo '<a href="'.$uurl....
Hello! My first question is basically asking for a code-review. Does the code I'm about to provide use a Factory to promote Polymorphism? Its written in PHP. Here are the basic requirements: Pass a long url to a library and return a shortened url. Along with the long url, pass user properties to attempt to locate the users specifi...
hey guys i want to generate unique base62 hashes - something similar to what tinyurl and bit.ly do using c#. this would be based on an auto increment field ID of type bigint (like most of these sites) min chars would be 1 and max chars would be 6... if you had to write the fastest code (least amount of cpu usage) in c# for this hash how...
bit.ly has it such that if you do bit.ly/blah+ it redirects to bit.ly/info/blah How would the htaccess code look for replicating that (using a plus sign to redirect to a related page) ...
How do services like TinyURL or Metamark work? Do they simply associate the tiny URL key with a [virtual?] web page which merely provide an "HTTP redirect" to the original URL? or is there more "magic" to it ? [original wording] I often use URL shortening services like TinyURL, Metamark, and others, but every time I do, I wonder how th...
I'm using the bit.ly url shortening service to shorten certain url's being sent to a "share on twitter" function. I'd like to load the bit.ly url only when a user actually presses the share button (due to bit.ly's max 5 parallel reqs limitation). Bit.ly's REST API returns a JSON callback with the shortened url, which makes the whole scen...
I'm looking for an on the fly URL shortener much like how tweetdeck works. I have found many jQuery and general javascript plugins that take a url and run it through a shortening service such as bit.ly when a button is pressed. However, I have not been able to find one that does it on the fly. My first question is does this already exist...
I have a PHP array that I need to sort. I have included the example array below. I need to put the top 10 number of URLS plus their perspective counts in a different array. I know I could run into problem if there aren't 10 top matches ... if that happens then a random matching would be fine. Any suggestions? I have tried sort(myarra...
I'm looking for a simple way to parse JSON, extract a value and write it into a db in Rails. Explicitly what I'm looking for is a way to extract a shortUrl from the JSON returned from the bit.ly API: { "errorCode": 0, "errorMessage": "", "results": { "http://www.foo.com": { "hash": "e5TEd", "shortKeywordUrl": "", "shortUrl": "http://b...
I'm writing a URL shortener similar to tinyurl and I'm wondering how to keep track of URL's that are already shortened using my service? For example, tinyurl generates the same tiny URL for the same long URL regardless of who creates it. How can this be achieved that is scalable? Bitly also does this though they generate a new URL per pe...
I'm new to Flex and wondering what the difference is between these two ActionScript implementations of the bit.ly API: http://github.com/julien/as3_bitly http://code.google.com/p/bitly-as3-api/ One thing I noticed is that one comes in .as files and the other's an .swc file. Is one better than the other for learning Flex? Thanks. ...
Hi, I am trying out a simple implementation of a URL shortener such as tinyurl.com or bit.ly. Currently I do a response.sendRedirect(targetURL) in my servlet - which works fine for http/ftp target URLs. However, I'm having problems redirecting to targets such as file:///c:/temp (where c:\temp is of course on the local/client system). ...
*I'm using yajl_JSON library to produce an NSDictionary from a JSON response for the bit.ly url shortening service.* The JSON response: { errorCode = 0; errorMessage = ""; results = { "http://www.example.com/" = { hash = 4H5keM; shortKeywordUrl = ""; shortUrl = "http://bit.ly/4BN4qV"; ...
I'm trying to parse bit.ly JSON reply in javscript. I get the JSON vis XmlHttpRequest. var req = new XMLHttpRequest; req.overrideMimeType("application/json"); req.open('GET', BITLY_CREATE_API + encodeURIComponent(url) + BITLY_API_LOGIN, true); var target = this; req.onload = function() {target.parseJSON(req, url)}; req.send(null); pa...
I tried to call bit.ly API using this jQuery script: $.get('http://api.bit.ly/shorten?login=bitlyapidemo&apiKey=R_0da49e0a9118ff35f52f629d2d71bf07&version=2.0.1&longUrl=www.wordpress.com', function(data) { alert(data); }); but firebug said "405 Method Not Allowed". What's wrong? Thanks a lot. ...
Hi experts! I'm implementing a URL shortener like bit.ly. For this, I have a Java servlet backend which does a response.redirect(targetURL) for every redirection request. This works fine for HTTP requests, but I'm having a problem with file:// protocols. The problematic case is this: The target is a directory (such as file:///N:/somef...

All the twitter status updates on the wordpress sidebar have bit.ly links. When I click on them, I get the 404 page because instead of going bit.ly/uniquenumber it tries to go www.domain.com/blog/"http://bit.ly/uniquenumber/" with www.domain.com/blog being the homepage for the wordpress blog. Is there an easy way to stop it from adding ...
Hi, I'm currently writing an iPhone application, that posts a long url to j.mp (bit.ly). It is fully working and posts the long url successfully. But when I want to copy the returned data into an UITextView, I just get some JSON Data. Now my question: How can I parse this data, so that I only have the shortened url? Could anyone help m...

I just checked it and it ...
