Shoogle

Use the Google API from the shell. An example, get the long URL using the urlshortener service:

$ echo '{"shortUrl": "http://goo.gl/Du5PSN"}' | shoogle execute urlshortener:v1.url.get -
{
  "status": "OK",
  "id": "http://goo.gl/Du5PSN",
  "longUrl": "http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R0HSXDqlJI8/Tr67i-kr7hI/AAAAAAABMko/gaId6iYuhjA/s1600/12_%252520Cross%252520that%252520bridge%252520when%252520we%252520come%252520to%252520it.jpg",
  "kind": "urlshortener#url"
}

}

$ shoogle execute urlshortener:v1.url.get get-longurl.json
