preface

In our daily work and life, we usually encounter some very long hyperlinks. When you want to forward or record the links, the links are very long and it is not convenient to operate, and the short link services provided by domestic cloud manufacturers are charged. What can we do if we are already living in poverty? It is recommended that you use PyShorteners, two lines of code that shorten long links to create your own short links.

About pyshorteners

It is a popular third party library for Python that makes it easy and quick to produce simple short links to make your work life better.

practice

The installation

pip install pyshorteners

Copy the code

An example to get started

From PyShorteners import Shortener # instantiate short link engine short_engine = Shortener() # use tinyURL to shorten res = short_engine.tinyurl.short('https://phygerr.github.io/httpx-%E4%BC%98%E7%A7%80%E7%9A%84http%E5%AE%A2%E6%88%B7%E7%AB%AF/' ) print(res)Copy the code

Code run result

Short link test

The browser opens the short link and tests whether it can be redirected properly.

Jump is successful

Short chain list

The shortening function of TinyURL can be used directly, but some short links, such as po.st, need to be registered and used with the APIkey.

Pyshorteners supports the following types of short chains:

Shorten a few more

From Pyshorteners import Shortener # instantiate short_engine = Shortener() Shorten res1 = = 'https://phygerr.github.io/httpx-%E4%BC%98%E7%A7%80%E7%9A%84http%E5%AE%A2%E6%88%B7%E7%AB%AF/' base_url # short_engine.tinyurl.short(base_url) res2 = short_engine.osdb.short(base_url) res3 = short_engine.isgd.short(base_url) res4 = short_engine.dagd.short(base_url) res5 = short_engine.qpsru.short(base_url) print(res1+'\n',res2+'\n',res3+'\n',res4+'\n',res5+'\n')Copy the code

Code run result

By comparison, you can see that the isGD and DAGD short chains are relatively concise.

5 NullPointer alone

I singled it out because NullPointer supports custom fields. Currently nullPointer supports both fields 0x0.st and ttm.sh. The user can define the shortening engine when instantiating it. The default is 0x0.st.

The default

From Pyshorteners import Shortener # instantiate short_engine = Shortener() base_url='https://phygerr.github.io/httpx-%E4%BC%98%E7%A7%80%E7%9A%84http%E5%AE%A2%E6%88%B7%E7%AB%AF/' # NullPointer,default domain is https://0x0.st res = short_engine.nullpointer.short(base_url) print(res)Copy the code

Code run result

The specified

Short_engine = Shortener(domain='https://ttm.sh') base_url='https://phygerr.github.io/httpx-%E4%BC%98%E7%A7%80%E7%9A%84http%E5%AE%A2%E6%88%B7%E7%AB%AF/' # NullPointer,default domain is https://0x0.st res = short_engine.nullpointer.short(base_url) print(res)Copy the code

Code run result

As you will see, NullPointer generates very good short links.

That’s all for today, thank you for reading, and we’ll see you next time.
