URL shorteners

2013-07-01 Thread Larry Martell
I'm looking for a URL shortener I can use with my django project. I
want to be able to email a short link to someone that will expand to
the 'real' URL. Googling I see there's quite a few different URL
shorteners. Anyone here have any experiences with them they would like
to share? Which one would be the best for my type of use case?

Thanks!

Héllo,

Are you looking for an API for a shorturl service or a standalone app to
make a short url service ?

I was looking for a django package that I could integrate into my app
that would allow me to pass it a long URL and it would return a short
one and then if that short URL was used it would redirect to the
original long one. But I've already implemented something myself and I
have it working.

I've successfully used django-shorturls[1] and really like it.
