WWW::LongURL(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation WWW::LongURL(3)

WWW::LongURL - Perl interface to the LongURL API.

  use WWW::LongURL;

  my $longurl = WWW::LongURL->new();

  my $expanded_url = $longurl->expand('http://bit.ly/cZcYFn');
  if (! $expanded_url) {
      die $longurl->error(), "\n";
  }

  my @shortening_services = $longurl->get_services();
  if (! @shortening_services) {
      die $longurl->error(), "\n";
  }
  for my $service (@services) {
      binmode(STDOUT, ':utf8');
      print $service, "\n";
  }

A simple interface for using the LongURL API to expand shortened URLs.

You can expand a bit.ly URL like so:

  my $url = $longurl->expand($some_bitly_url);

You can retrieve a list of shortening services supported by longurl like so:

  my @services = $longurl->get_services();

"new"
Constructor
"expand($url)"
On success, will return the expanded URL from LongURL. On failure, returns undef.
"get_services"
On success, returns an array of shortening services that longurl.org supports. On failure, returns undef.
"error"
Returns the last error message.

LongURL will expand the URL from over 200 supported shortening services.
