Class to shorten URLs with Bit.ly on iOS (both block based and delegate based using ARC). Try out the included demo project!

If you'd like to include this component as a pod using CocoaPods, just add the following line to your Podfile: pod "Bitlyzer"

Simple usage:

• copy Src folder into your project
• set your Bitly API username and key in Bitlyzer.m
• import Bitlyzer.h in your class
• use Bitlyzer using blocks

Bitlyzer *bitlyzer = [[Bitlyzer alloc] init];
[bitlyzer shortURL:@"http://albertodebortoli.it"
         succeeded:^(NSString *urlToShorten, NSString *shortenedURL) { }
              fail:^(NSString *urlToShorten, NSError *error) { }];

• or use Bitlyzer using delegation pattern implementing BitlyzerDelegate protocol and related optional delegate methods

Bitlyzer *bitlyzer = [[Bitlyzer alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
[bitlyzer shortURL:@"http://albertodebortoli.it"];

#pragma mark - BitlyzerDelegate
- (void)bitlyzer:(Bitlyzer *)bitlyzer didShortURL:(NSString *)urlToShorten toURL:(NSString *)shortenedURL;
- (void)bitlyzer:(Bitlyzer *)bitlyzer didFailShorteningURL:(NSString *)urlToShorten error:(NSError *)error;

Bitly response parsing is done using NSJSONSerializtion available in iOS 5 and later. If you need support for previous iOS versions you need to modify Bitlyzer.m and use your preferred JSON parser (line 133).
