Bitly

Introducing the new Bitly Developer Site!

We're excited to announce the launch of the brand new Bitly developer site, which you can find at bitly.is/developer. You’ll find community groups, support, documentation, best practices, SDK for mobile applications, and more.

Here's what you'll find:

1. Documentation: In the “Documentation” section of the site, you’ll find a best practices guide, a link to the Bitly developer community, a library for tools, and how to register an application with our API. You’ll find detailed sections that cover rate limits, metrics, user info, domains, spreadsheets, the API console, and more.

2. Integrations: In the “Integrations” section, there are code libraries, the SDKs for Android and iOS, and information about Bitly’s public data

3. Manage My Apps: “Manage My Apps” is where you’ll go to register new applications in order to authenticate them for the Bitly API. You can do this by generating an OAuth token. Each Bitly account can support five different applications.

Making the Most of the AP-Incredible:

Bitly users do incredible things with our API. Across every major industry, you can customize Bitly for the way that your audience interacts with your brand. Want to improve customer service? Brand every link shared out of a Facebook button? How about send individual Bitlinks through a a thousand text messages?

Our users have done all that and more. Check out our blog post at bitly.is/developers to see some of the most fascinating use cases!

Through all the years of Bitly's various iterations and interfaces, we've wanted to stay true to our mission to be open and transparent. The Bitly API is an important cornerstone to that mission and we're proud to be integrated in so many developer communities around the globe. We hope that this new site will offer a helpful way to navigate all the resources that make the next big thing possible. So keep building, creating, and coding - may the power of the link be with you!
