Tumblr bot URL Shortner Help

Post by martin@rootjazz »

If you want to use shortened URLs from Google goo.gl or Bitly you can now have these automatically applied to your Syndicated Content URLs. A great way to link your Tumblr content to a blog post on a different site with less restrictions on adverts.

So you can use Bitly if you have an API username and pass.
Signup for bitly user account
Get your API details


To use a Google Gool.gl shortner you don't have to use an API key, but it is better if you do for stats.
To acquire an API key, visit the APIs Console.
Next, go to the API Access panel. The API key is near the bottom of that pane, in the section titled "Simple API Access."

Syndicated URl Shortner token
#SYND_URL_SHORT#

If a Bitly username / password input and a Google API key, they bitly takes precedence

Is there any way to automatically apply this URL shortner to URLs I usually add to the Description field of the Meta Data when posting images?

TwitterDub user here...

Great! But where do *I* enter the google API information in TwitterDub??

Because all I'm getting from ((googl-rand)URL) is:

Code: Select all

PreTokens: Total tokens that @bitsyncio issues for the #ICO sale is 45,000,000. Questions? Give them a follow and GO TO ((googl-rand)https://t.me/bitsyncio)
* ERROR: GOOGL: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
*** Please check your GooGl API details as entered to the settings tab, ensure the details are correct and the account is working and valid ***
* ERROR: TwitterErrorLog: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
* FAILED: TweetPostId: 
I also asked this question in the TD board: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=5181#p30809

Well, you used this link in TD... And never updated the fact that currently TD does not support goo.gl API.

The settings page still links back to here - and your initial post is unchanged...?

yes yes, not the highest priority to update some links that no one uses, nor can use in the app
