unable to get goo.gl shorten url to work

Post by rt2 »

Hi Martin

I followed the instruction in the video regarding goo.gl shorten url API creating but couldnt get it to work..

also, looks like google changed their interface because its not the old one I know and not the same as in the video

btw, shall I create server or browser api? anyway I tried both and entered the keys in the setting but still

Thank you.

Hi Martin

didnt hear from you since I posted my questions above?

kindly explain what I need to do if I have the following tweet for example and I want to shorten url with goo.gl

"the correct homepage is http://xyz.com/123.php"

Thank you

goo.gl seems to have changed, I cannot find where my old API key is in the new system, seems like google have integrated into something else...

will remove it from the program

use bit.ly

They just changed the interface, i was able to enable it and got the code and entered it in the TD settings!

my problem is i couldnt use it

bit.ly is much limited than goo.gl and they suspend the code after 1000 hits

and how to use bit.ly as the example above? couldnt understand it from the video

Hope you add another shorten site if you are going to remove goo.gl

Thanks

googl-rand = bitly-rang

Hi Martin

i got the api from https://console.developers.google.com/project

but not sure which one I'm suppose to choose (browser API -or- server API)?

and it TD settings I entered the google API setting but it didnt work.

and how to use bit.ly if I entered the tweet in TD as:

"the correct homepage is http://xyz.com/123.php"

how to shorten the above tweet?

Thanks.

yes it appears to have changed, before it was open and free to all, now it seems more limited or something a whole new system

Thanks.

you put that in your tweet text (for example)


OR let me know what you are trying to do - where you want your randomised link to appear
