aBird.co

Simple wrapper for the aBird.co API, the world's best, coolest and fastest URL shortening service. Period.

Using this module can't be any easier:

Install aBird.co

npm install abird.co

Require aBird.co

var abird = require('abird.co').fly(options);

The options object may contain:

• apiKey - Your API key, obtained from your aBird.co profile page. Providing an API key is only required when using the shrink method.
• timeout - API request timeout, in milliseconds. Defaults to 3600.

And you are ready to use this awesome API.

API

• .shrink(object)
• .expand(mask)
• .delete(mask)

All of these methods return a promise.

Examples

Shrink content

let data = {
	type: "url",
	value: "http://abird.co"
};

abird.shrink(data)
    .then(result => {
        res.send(result);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
    });

Expand content

let mask = 'a';
abird.expand(mask)
    .then(result => {
        res.redirect(302, result.value);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        res.status(404).end();
        console.error(error);
    });

var mask = 'a';
abird.delete(mask)
    .then(() => {
        res.status(200).end();
    })
    .catch(error => {
        res.status(400).end();
        console.error(error);
    });
