Bitly.jl is a Julia package for accessing the Bitly API. Bitly is a popular link shortening service.

token: # hidden for my safety :)
julia> S = shorten(b,"https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/")
(link = "https://bit.ly/2Us5Vl7", response = Dict{String,Any}("deeplinks" => Any[],"created_at" => "2020-03-28T00:59:02+0000","references" => Dict{String,Any}("group" => "https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/groups/Bk3ri4m2q8i"),"archived" => false,"id" => "bit.ly/2Us5Vl7","custom_bitlinks" => Any[],"link" => "https://bit.ly/2Us5Vl7","tags" => Any[],"long_url" => "https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/"))

"https://bit.ly/2Us5Vl7"Right now the package implements only basic methods associated with the service:

This package is very much incomplete, but it does provide the basic functionality. It does what I need it to do.
