Django Bitly

Bit.ly integration for django

A Django app that supports automatic generation and tracking of bit.ly hashes for objects on the site. Will automatically track changes to URLs, and, if necessary, maintain redirects for moved objects.

Installation

$ pip install django-bitly

Add 'django_bitly' to your INSTALLED_APPS.

$ django-admin.py syncdb

Define the following settings:

BITLY_LOGIN
Your Bit.ly username
BITLY_API_KEY
Your Bit.ly API Key

Usage

Template Filters

{% load bitly %}

{{ myobject|bitlify }}
{{ myobject|clicks }}
{{ myobject|referrers }}
{{ myobject|referrer_chart:"250x100" }}

Available filters:

bitlify
Gets or create a short URL for the passed object. If unable to get and/or create from bit.ly, will just return the object's get_absolute_url value.
clicks
Returns the number of clicks that object has logged in bit.ly stats or fails silently.
referrers
Same as clicks filter but returns list of Referrer objects rather than number of clicks.
referrer_chart
Works like referrers, but returns the URL for a Google charts pie chart.

Models

You can use the bitlify manager method to create short urls for your model instances:

>>> from django_bitly.models import Bittle
>>> from myapp.models import MyModel

>>> myobj = MyModel.objects.get(pk=1)
>>> bittle = Bittle.objects.bitlify(myobj)
>>> bittle.shortUrl
'http://bit.ly/abcd1234'

Settings

BITLY_LOGIN
Your Bit.ly username. Required.
BITLY_API_KEY
Your Bit.ly API Key. Required.
BITLY_TIMEOUT
Timeout for the requests to Bit.ly, in seconds. Default: 5
