Tool / UI for Import and Export of URLs

[willwade]

Has anyone created a tool maybe using the api to import bit.ly /a.n.other service links to Kutt.it (just before I embark on this!)

This would be an interesting feature, since goo.gl is going to be down soon. Although, I should define a limit for the amount of links that a user can import. And there are also some possibilities that some of the links are already taken.

I’m not the best of coders so if someone else was to do this then fab. Yes - I really want to migrate from bitly but the goo.gl closure is a good use case too. It’s a good point about duplicates. Hmm. I would be hesitant on the limit aspect - but I understand the concerns.

General notes:

• Check what types of export filetypes other services are using, pick the most widely supported 1-2 formats.

• On limits: Why not have a general per-user limit of total links instead of per-import? (Say 10k per user?)

Bit.ly. Only uses API. Uses oAuth 2.0. Full history via /v3/user/link_history (Interestingly they have a guide transitioning from Google)
