Google URL Shortener API in Ruby

url.short_url
=> "http://goo.gl/ump4s"

url.long_url
=> "http://www.zigotto.com/"

url.qr_code

Expand a short URL

url = Googl.expand('http://goo.gl/ump4S')

url.long_url
=> "http://www.zigotto.com/"

Authentication

The Google URL Shortener API supports the OAuth and ClientLogin mechanisms for authenticating. For shorten requests, each short URL for an authenticated user is unique, and thus will gather unique click statistics. In addition, it shows up on the user’s dashboard at goo.gl.

ClientLogin

client = Googl.client('user@gmail.com', 'my_valid_password')

url = client.shorten('https://github.com/zigotto/googl')
url.short_url
=> http://goo.gl/DWDfi

Go to goo.gl to see URL statistics.
