Shorten with goo.gl

 / Published in: PHP
 

URL: http://snipt.org/xglpp

I needed a simple function to shorten a link with goo.gl and wrote this, thought it may help someone. Note: you still need an API key from goo.gl

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. function getgoogl($glurl, $apikey) {
  2.  
  3. 	$userurl = rawurlencode($glurl);
  4.  
  5. 	$ch = curl_init('https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key='.$apikey); 
  6. 	curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
  7. 	   CURLOPT_POST => TRUE,
  8. 	   CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,
  9. 	   CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Content-type: application/json'),
  10. 	   CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode(array('longUrl' => $userurl))
  11. 	   )); 
  12. 	$chresults = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
  13. 	curl_close($ch);
  14.  
  15. 	return $chresults->id;
  16. 	}
