PHP library to consume bit.ly API

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install this library is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md).

```
composer require gabrielkaputa/bitly
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First of all, [create a bit.ly account](https://bitly.com/) if you don't have one already.

If all you need to do is to create shortlinks on behalf of a single user or site, all you need is to [get your generic access token](https://bitly.com/a/oauth_apps). When done, you can create shortlinks like this:

```
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

$bitly = \GabrielKaputa\Bitly::withGenericAccessToken(GENERIC_ACCESS_TOKEN);
$short_url = $bitly->shortenUrl($long_url);
```

Another option is when you are working with multiple end-users or to pull any information on a user level for your own account. In this case you will need to [register your application](http://dev.bitly.com/my_apps.html)to get your `CLIENT_ID` and `CLIENT_SECRET`. When done, you can create shortlinks like this:

```
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");

$bitly = \GabrielKaputa\Bitly::withCredentials(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, USERNAME, PASSWORD);
$short_url = $bitly->shortenUrl($long_url);
```
