Re: Loading Spreadsheet bulk processed links to account and then to a Bundle

[a...@bit.ly]

Hi Alex --

If you already have a program that is capturing the long urls and titles that you want then you can create a bundle of them pretty easily using the v3/bundle/create/ endpoint (http://dev.bitly.com/bundles.html#v3_bundle_create) to create a new bundle and then the v3/bundle/link_add endpoint (http://dev.bitly.com/bundles.html#v3_bundle_link_add) to add the links to that bundle. 

Let me know if that answers your question.

Regards,

Andrew

I want to do the same thing except I want to press a button and have all the tabs I have open in my browser be saved as urls in a bitly bundle..

I already have browser extensions that copy all of the urls + their "titles" onto the clipboard.. I don't want to have to do that and then paste them somewhere and add them to bundles manually..

I want to click a button and backup all my tabs in a bundle on Bitly.. a private bundle for safekeeping..

The spreadsheet you referenced (http://bit.ly/spreadsheet) — I'm returning results "RATE LIMIT EXCEEDED". Do you know why that might be the case?

Hi Ted,

That spreadsheet is very out of date, and uses a generic set of credentials that you shouldn't be using.

A macro that works (place this in B1, and the long URL in column A1, you can drag it down to work for up to 50 rows) is:

=IF(ISTEXT(A1),IMPORTDATA(CONCATENATE("https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v3/shorten?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE&format=txt&longUrl=", SUBSTITUTE(A1, "&", "%26"))), "")

Hope that helps

James
