Thanks for adding me to the repo. I assume you saw some earlier work I started but never got around to completing. Happy to help if you need a collaborator. Cheers.

I am seeing Code: 500 - MISSING_ARG_ACCESS_TOKEN when I call functions including bitly_UserInfo(). Might this mean I am not properly authorized?

bitly_token is not returning an error and shows:

A cause of the problem could be my entries in the bit.ly OAUTH APP registration, namely:
APPLICATION LINK: http://localhost:1410/
REDIRECT URIS: http://localhost:1410/

bitly_token$credentials$status_code returns 401, which apparently means UNAUTHORIZED.

Forgive me, I am not very familiar with the web authentication space. A review of https://dev.bitly.com/authentication.html did not help.

I've tried to create a twitter bot using your package in which its script needs to be run automatically by using cron.

However, I've come across the oauth_listener() error. Is there any way to use your package in a non interactive env?

Hey folks,
It looks like bitly_retrieve_groups did not allow for retrieving the list of groups generally due to a stop check on organization_id, changing the default value for the argument to NULL and removing the stop fixes this in #21

Cheers!

I'm going to submit to CRAN later today, so you may want to prepare a new release soon. Not sure why this didn't come up in the previous checks, although given the test text, it may be a problem on your end.

Meaninig that url which is requested from server, when it has been build through (GET, param = list())

Hello,

first of all - I'm not an expert with APIs.... 😏
I struggled a little bit trying to figure out, how to catch the response of bitly_LinksShorten if I call the function with an empty longUrl argument

bitly_LinksShorten("")
Dataframe mit 0 Spalten und 1 Zeile

To catch this, I have to do something like is(ncol == 0), or to check the input before of course. But it seems that the 'problem' is bitly itself. Here I'm using the GET-request from your code and set longUrl to "".

query <- list(access_token = bitly_token$credentials$access_token, longUrl = "")
return_request <- httr::GET("https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v3/shorten", query = query, httr::config(token = bitly_token))

> return_request
Response [https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v3/shorten?access_token=207b9e68ff2d50a113b21bc5af78280f4550cc41&longUrl=]
  Date: 2016-02-02 16:46
  Status: 200
  Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
  Size: 68 B

I would not expect a "Status 200" here and if I call the content object I get a Status 500 with a proper text message.

> httr::content(return_request)
$data
list()

$status_code
[1] 500

$status_txt
[1] "MISSING_ARG_URI"

Maybe you could add a check somewhere around here and return NA if the status is not 200.

And yes, if you want, I could try to write a pull request.

Thank you for the package!

Thanks for building this awesome package!

I just wanted to flag that urlshorteneR was recently removed from CRAN: 😧

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/urlshorteneR/index.html

Looks like one of the Vignettes didn't build.

Hi and thank you for your package!

Ive been using it a while and saw today that i get an error when i tried to run it.

The function I use is: isgd_LinksShorten(longUrl = long_url, showRequestURL = FALSE)

And the error I get is: Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.
<!--[if lt IE 7
(right here) ------^

I havent updated any packages lately. Ive tried various urls, i keep getting the same error.

Thanks

Regards
Jan

on first use the failure behavior could be a bit better

bitly_LinksShorten(longUrl = "http://www.opencoesione.gov.it/progetti/1si366/")
#> Error in bitly_LinksShorten(longUrl = "http://www.opencoesione.gov.it/progetti/1si366/") : 
#>   object 'bitly_token' not found

maybe a meaningful message about what to do to authenicate

Hi folks!
Thanks for putting urlshorteneR together!
I was using it today and noticed some difficulties trying to use it non-interactively.

I forked it and added some needed capacities for working non-interactively with the package in #19

Hope ya'll find the modifications helpful!

problem in corporate environment where a web browser (chrome) can get to is.gd shortener but when I run it from urlshortener I get timeout. It is of 10 seconds which should be default httr timeout. is.gd is reached via various browsers in 2 to 3 seconds.

> isgd_LinksShorten("http://neverssl.org")
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) : 
  Failed to connect to is.gd port 80: Timed out

Initially I thought to try increasing timeout, but that does not seem to be an issue. How does one go about troubleshooting this kind of scenario? Many thanks, Roberts
