We are pleased to announce some new user-level metrics features in our API, making it even easier for developers to provide bit.ly users with realtime feedback about their trending bit.ly links.
We are currently using the new /v3/user/realtime_links API endpoint in our Chrome Extension to notify bit.ly users about their “Trending Bits.” This feature provides a popup notification whenever one of a bit.ly user’s links receives a certain number of hourly clicks. (This threshold can be modified within the extension’s settings.)
Other user-level metrics endpoints provide an overview of click traffic, referrers and originating countries across all of a bit.ly user’s links. All of these user-level metrics endpoints are accessible via OAuth 2, making it easy for users to access their bit.ly data via third-party applications without having to enter their bit.ly API key, username or password.
These new API endpoints and our OAuth implementation are fully documented at api.bit.ly. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact api@bit.ly, or sign up for the bit.ly API Google Group.
