Question

I have searched the bitly API documentation for limits, and I only see information about rate limits, i.e. the amount of people that can visit your short link in a given period of time (http://dev.bitly.com/rate_limiting.html).

Id like to know if there is a limit to how many short links I can create via the API? a thousand? a million? gazillion?

Was it helpful?

Solution

As suggested by Runscope, I contacted api@bitly.com and they responded quickly as follows:

"There's no limit on the number of short links you can create. The rate limits are per-hour and per-minute bursts, but you can keep shortening URLs forever."

Nice.
