Details

Right now the package implements only basic methods associated with the service:

• obtaining token via requestBitlyToken
• link shortening via shorten
• link expansion via expand
• click statistics via clicks

This package is very much incomplete, but it does provide the basic functionality. It does what I need it to do.

I am open to pull requests that extend or improve existing features.

See the documentation for more information.
