urlshortener-rs

A very simple urlshortener for Rust.

This library aims to implement as much URL shortener services as possible and to provide an interface as minimal and simple as possible.

Implementations

Currently the following URL shorteners are implemented:

With authentication:

• goo.gl
• bit.ly

Without authentication:

• bn.gy
• is.gd
• readability.com
• v.gd
• bam.bz
• fifo.cc
• tiny.ph
• tny.im
• s.coop
• bmeo.org
• hmm.rs
• url-shortener.io

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

• tinyurl.com
• psbe.co
• rlu.ru
• sirbz.com
• hec.su
• abv8.me
• nowlinks.net

Usage

Without authentication

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, None));
}

With authentication (Goo.Gl)

extern crate urlshortener;

use urlshortener::{ UrlShortener, Provider };

fn main() {
    let us = UrlShortener::new();
    let long_url = "https://google.com";
    let key = "MY_API_KEY";
    println!("Short url for google: {:?}", us.generate(long_url, Provider::GooGl { api_key: key.to_owned() }));
}

Combined (Goo.Gl + Is.Gd)

extern crate urlshortener;

use urlshortener::{ UrlShortener, Provider };

fn main() {    
    let us = UrlShortener::new();
    let providers = vec![
        Provider::GooGl { api_key: "MY_API_KEY".to_owned() },
        Provider::IsGd,
    ];
    let long_url = "https://rust-lang.org";
    println!("Short url for google: {:?}", us.try_generate(long_url, Some(providers)));
}
