urlshortener-rs

A very simple urlshortener for Rust.

This library aims to implement only URL shortener services which do not require any authentication (ex: goo.gl, bit.ly) and to provide an interface as minimal and simple as possible.

The reason for this is that users of such a library might only need to get the shortened URL, rather than a service using authentication. This is also a reason that this library aims to use as few dependencies as possible.

Implementations

Currently the following URL shorteners are implemented:

• bn.gy
• is.gd
• readability.com
• v.gd

The following services are supported, but are discouraged from use, due to restrictions such as rate limits:

• psbe.co
• rlu.ru

Usage

extern crate urlshortener;

use urlshortener::UrlShortener;

fn main() {
    let us = UrlShortener::new();
    let long_url = "https://google.com";
    println!("Short url for google: {:?}", us.try_generate(long_url));
}
