Infinite Loop

ILBitly framework

ILBitly provides an Objective C wrapper class for easy access to the free url shortening services provided by bitly.com.

Currently ILBitly provides wrappers for the following functions:
  • Shortening of long URLs into short versions, e.g. j.mp or bit.ly.
  • Expansion of shortened URLs into the original long URL.
  • Statistics for the number of clicks on a short URL.
ILBitly requires iOS 4.0 or newer due to the use of blocks. It also requires AFNetworking and JSONKit which are both available from GitHub. The README file provided with ILBitly describes how to install these to work with ILBitly.

The ILBitly class is made available as open source under the standard BSD license terms. You may therefore use and redistribute it for any purpose as long as the copyright notices and the license's disclaimers of warranty are maintained. If you make any changes or additions it will be highly appreciated if you provide these changes back to the community, but there are no obligations to do so.

The easiest way to grab your own copy of ILBitly is to clone directly from GitHub:


  $ git clone git://github.com/InfiniteLoopDK/ILBitly.git
  $ cd ILBitly
  $ open README.md

The README.mdown file opened in the last step contains additional descriptions on how to setup the sample project as well as how to use the ILBitly class.
