Python linkfire.com API. To install it use pip command:

pip install -U python-linkfire

In order to use the API, you must have a valid account on linkfire.com. Every API Object in this library will use the method authenticate() that will catch the API keys you need to perform every call to the linkfire server.

Every link must have these information:

• The old URL
• A title
• A description

Once you have all these informations you can create a Link Object in this way:

from linkfire import Link

my_link = Link(
    url="http://who.is.lorenzo.setale.me/?",
    title="my website", 
    description="Description of a super cool website."
)

And then you have to autenticate the API object in this way:

my_link.authenticate(username, password)

Once you get authenticated, you can perform the main API call to make the link shorter:

my_link.make_it_shorter()

Once it will be ready you can use the Link object as normal string or use its property to get the shorter URL:

my_link.shortlink
print str(my_link)
