R Wrapper for the 'Bit.ly' and 'Is.gd'/'v.gd' URL Shortening Services

Allows using two URL shortening services, which also provide expanding and analytic functions. Specifically developed for 'Bit.ly' (which requires OAuth2) and 'is.gd' (no API key).

Either see CRAN or use devtools to install the latest version from Github:

library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("dmpe/urlshorteneR", build_vignettes = TRUE)

Tested on Ubuntu 15.10 and Windows 10 (64 bit)

Help needed !!!

Testers with the "enterprise" Bit.ly accounts. Please try using it and then report bugs in https://github.com/dmpe/urlshorteneR/issues
Testing Ow.ly support (this requeres their API key)

Looking for examples and current implementation status ?

Check the vignette in vignettes folder.
