Requirements

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require toneflix-code/cuttly-php

Initialization

To start using this library you are required to configure your API keys in a .env file with these variables.

CUTTLY_API_KEY=your-cutt.ly-API-key
CUTTLY_TEAM_API_KEY=your-cutt.ly-API-key #[Optional] For users with team subscriptions.

If your project does not have a .env file, you can create one at the root directory of your project. Alternatively your can pass the api key as parameters when you initialize the library.

With ENV file

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

Without ENV file

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly(
    apiKey: '121hksdSome23hRandom19212RegularApiKeyString55',
    teamApiKey: 'hksd092uSome00uRandom101nTeamApiKeyStrings31'
);

Initialization Errors

Where an API key is not provided, the library will throw a ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Exceptions\InvalidApiKeyException exception and any other associated action call.

Regular API Usage

Shorten Url

To shorten a URL simply call the shorten(string) method chained to the regular() method of the Cuttly instance passing the link you intend to shorten as the only parameter.

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://toneflix.com.ng/learning';
$data = $cutly->regular()->shorten($link);

The shorten() method returns an instance of ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Builders\ShortenResponse which contains all properties of the request response returned by the API.

Chainable parameters

We have taken our time to ensure that while using this library, you have access to every available feature provided by cuttly in the first place, here is a list of parameters you can chain as methods to further customize your request.

  • name(string): Your desired short link - alias - if not already taken
  • noTitle(): Faster API response time - This parameter disables getting the page title from the source page meta tag which results in faster API response time Available for Team Enterprise plan
  • public(): Settings public click stats for shortened link via AP
  • userDomain(): Use the domain from the user account that is approved and has the status: active.

Example Usage

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://toneflix.com.ng/learning';
$data = $cutly->regular()->name('toneflix101')->shorten($link);

Do note that shorten() should only be called at the end of the chain.

Edit Short Link

The library also allows you to edit the short links you have created. To edit a link simply call the edit(string) method chained to the regular() method of the Cuttly instance passing the short link you intend to edit as the only parameter.

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://cutt.ly/toneflix101';
$data = $cutly->regular()->edit($link);

Of course, the example above really does nothing and will throw a ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Exceptions\FailedRequestException. To actually edit a link, you can chain any of the below methods to your call and voila.

  • name(string): New alias / name, if not already taken.
  • userDomain(): Use the domain from the user account that is approved and has the status: active.
  • tag(string): The TAG you want to add for shortened link.
  • source(string): Change the source url of shortened link.
  • unique(0|1|15-1440): Sets a unique stat count for a short link.
  • title(): It will change the title of url of shortened link.

Example Usage

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://cutt.ly/toneflix101';
$data = $cutly->regular()->name('toneflix404')->userDomain()->unique(1)->edit($link);

The edit() method returns an instance of ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Builders\BaseResponse which contains all properties of the request response returned by the API.

Link analytics

In order to access URL statistics call the stats(string) method chained to the regular() method of the Cuttly instance passing the short link you intend to get analytics of as the only parameter.

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://cutt.ly/toneflix404';
$data = $cutly->regular()->stats($link);

The stats() method returns an instance of ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Builders\StatsResponse which contains all properties of the request response returned by the API.

Delete Short Link

To delete a short link call the delete(string) method chained to the regular() method of the Cuttly instance passing the short link you intend to get delete as the only parameter.

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://cutt.ly/toneflix404';
$data = $cutly->regular()->delete($link);

The delete() method returns an instance of ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Builders\BaseResponse which contains all properties of the request response returned by the API.

Team API Usage

The team API implements the same methods and chainable methods available to the Regular API with a few exceptions that we will point out next.

TO use the Team API, instead of calling the regular() method on the Cuttly instance, we're going to call the team() method, you can now chain all the method we have highlighted above to use the Team API.

Shorten Link

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://toneflix.com.ng/learning';
$data = $cutly->team()->name('toneflix301')->shorten($link);

Edit Short Link

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://cutt.ly/toneflix301';
$data = $cutly->team()->edit($link);

Link analytics

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://cutt.ly/toneflix301';
$data = $cutly->team()->stats($link);

Delete Short Link

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

$link = 'https://cutt.ly/toneflix404';
$data = $cutly->team()->delete($link);

Exceptions

ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Exceptions\InvalidApiKeyException

The ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Exceptions\InvalidApiKeyException exception is thrown whenever an API key has not been provided or an invalid API key has been provided.

ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Exceptions\FailedRequestException

The ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Exceptions\FailedRequestException exception is thrown whenever the Cuttly API returns an error.

Exception Handling

When you hit an exception, you can handle it in whatever way is best for your use case.

use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;
use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Exceptions\FailedRequestException;

$cutly = new Cuttly();

try {
  $link = 'https://toneflix.com.ng/learning';
  $data = $cutly->regular()->name('toneflix404')->shorten($link);
} catch (FailedRequestException $th) {
  echo $th->getMessage();
}
use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Cuttly;
use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Exceptions\InvalidApiKeyException;
use ToneflixCode\CuttlyPhp\Exceptions\FailedRequestException;

try {
  $cutly = new Cuttly();

  $link = 'https://toneflix.com.ng/learning';
  $data = $cutly->regular()->name('toneflix404')->shorten($link);
} catch (FailedRequestException|InvalidApiKeyException $th) {
  echo $th->getMessage();
}
