Initialization

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

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

Without ENV file

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
