I get INVALID_URI eventhough it's a valid url

[Yehuda Tzadik]

That's the output

string(84) "{"errorCode": 500, "errorMessage": "INVALID_URI", "results": null, "statusCode": ""}"

array(4) {
  ["errorCode"]=>
  int(500)
  ["errorMessage"]=>
  string(11) "INVALID_URI"
  ["results"]=>
  NULL
  ["statusCode"]=>
  string(0) ""
}

In v2 I got other error message


Here is the code

<?php

$ch = curl_init();

$token = 'a1ab30ed221a';

$a_link_params = array (

'uri'     =>  urlencode('http://10comm.com/Pinukim.php'),

'longUrl' =>  urlencode('http://10comm.com/Pinukim.php'),

'login'   =>  'mylogin',

'apiKey'  =>  'myapikey',

'format'  =>  'json'

);

$url = "http://api.bit.ly/v3/shorten";

$url .= '?' . http_build_query($a_link_params);

echo "url: " . $url . "<br>";

$a_curl_options = array (

        CURLOPT_URL             =>  $url,

        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  =>  1,

        CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT  =>  30

);

curl_setopt_array($ch, $a_curl_options);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, false);

$result = curl_exec($ch);  

echo "<pre>";var_dump($result);echo "</pre>";

curl_close($ch);

$obj = json_decode($result, true);

echo "<pre>";var_dump($obj);echo "</pre>";  

// $SLink =  $obj["results"]["longurl"]["shortUrl"];  

 

//echo $SLink; ?>

Hello Yehuda,

There are two issues I'm seeing that are probably leading to your problem:

1.  You are providing both uri and longUrl parameters.  You should only provide a longUrl parameter.

2.  In the code sample you provided, longUrl gets double encoded.  http_build_query encodes the parameters provided so the earlier urlencode leads to the parameters getting double encoded which would result in an invalid URL.

If you resolve these issues, your provided code should work.

Hope this helps, let us know if you have any further questions.
