Various scripts that do useful things with Bitly's API endpoints

This script generates click counts per day for the Bitlink you specify.

The script was written to work with Python 2.7, and requires the requests library. A requirements.txt file is included for use with pip.

The script requires you to supply three arguments, your Bitly account access token (https://bitly.com/a/oauth_apps and generate the Generic Access Token), the Bitlink for which you want click data by day, and the filename of the CSV you want to hold the script's output.

To run the script:

python link_details.py XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX output.csv http://bit.ly/123ABC

This script shortens URLs and generates a CSV of the output.

The script was written to work with Python 2.7, and requires the requests library. A requirements.txt file is included for use with pip.

The script requires two arguments, your Bitly account access token (https://bitly.com/a/oauth_apps and generate the Generic Access Token), and the name of the file containing the URLs you want to shorten. The URLs should be one URL per line.

The script takes one optional argument, "rate_limit". If you are a free user, or generally don't want to bother worrying about it, the script defaults to the free use rate limit of 1000 calls to shorten a URL per hour. If you are a paid user and thus have a higher rate limit, enter your actual rate limit and the script will run more rapidly. Input a rate limit that is higher than your actual limit, and you will get back RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED errors.

To run the script:

python shorten_links.py --access_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX --filename=input.txt --rate_limit=15000
