WWW::Shorten::Safe - Interface to shortening URLs using http://safe.mn/, http://clic.gs/, http://go2.gs/ or http://cliks.fr/.
$Revision: 1.20 $
WWW::Shorten::Safe provides an easy interface for shortening URLs using http://safe.mn/, http://clic.gs/, http://go2.gs/ or http://cliks.fr/.
use WWW::Shorten::Safe;
my $url = "http://www.example.com/";
my $short = makeashorterlink($url);
my $long = makealongerlink($short); # "http://www.example.com/"
or
use WWW::Shorten::Safe;
my $url = "http://www.example.com";
my $safe = WWW::Shorten::Safe->new();
$safe->shorten(URL => $url);
print "shortened URL is $safe->{safeurl}\n";
$safe->expand(URL => $safe->{safeurl});
print "expanded/original URL is $safe->{longurl}\n";
Create a new safe.mn object.
my $safe = WWW::Shorten::Safe->new();
Optional. User-Agent value.
my $safe = WWW::Shorten::Safe->new(source => 'MyLibrary');
default: perlteknatussafe by default
Optional. Domain of the short URL. Choose between safe.mn, clic.gs, go2.gs or cliks.fr.
my $safe = WWW::Shorten::Safe->new(domain => 'clic.gs');
default: safe.mn
The function makeashorterlink will call the safe.mn API site passing it your long URL and will return the shorter safe.mn version.
Required. Long URL to shorten
my $short = makeashorterlink("http://www.example.com/"); # http://safe.mn/25
Optional. Domain of the short URL. Choose between safe.mn, clic.gs, go2.gs or cliks.fr.
my $short = makeashorterlink("http://www.example.com/", "clic.gs"); # http://clic.gs/25
safe.mn by default
The function makealongerlink does the reverse. makealongerlink will accept as an argument the full safe.mn/clic.gs/go2.gs/cliks.fr URL.
If anything goes wrong, then the function will return undef.
Required. Short URL to shorten
my $long = makealongerlink("http://clic.gs/25"); # "http://www.example.com/"
Shorten a URL using http://safe.mn/, http://clic.hs/, http://go2.gs/ or http://cliks.fr/. Calling the shorten method will return the shortened URL but will also store it in safe.mn object until the next call is made.
my $url = "http://www.example.com/"; my $shortstuff = $safe->shorten(URL => $url); print "safeurl is " . $safe->{safeurl} . "\n"; or print "safeurl is $shortstuff\n";
Required. Long URL to shorten
my $short = $safe->shorten(URL => "http://www.example.com/"); # http://safe.mn/25
Optional. Domain of the short URL. Choose between safe.mn, clic.gs, go2.gs or cliks.fr.
my $short = $safe->shorten(URL => "http://www.example.com/", DOMAIN => "clic.gs"); # http://clic.gs/25
safe.mn by default
Expands a shortened safe.mn URL to the original long URL.
Required. Long URL to shorten
my $long = $safe->expand(URL => "http://safe.mn/25"); # http://www.example.com/
Get information bout a short link.
Required. Short URL to track
my $info = $safe->info(URL => "http://safe.mn/25"); print "number of cliks: ", $info->{clicks}, "\n";
See http://safe.mn/api-doc/protocol#track-response for the list of fields returned: clicks, referers, countries, filetype, etc.
