Bitly API

Hi, I'm new here and would like to try my python script using bitly API. However I'm getting 403 error. Is it blocked?

Currently it's not on our whitelist, but I'm happy to add it.

Are there any other domains, apart from api-ssl.bitly.com?

I am pretty sure all endpoints use that ssl URL. Thank you for the prompt reply and the generosity!

Okay, that's been done. Should be live now.

hi there, I tried executing the script but still got 403 error. I just checked: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/whitelist/ and I couldn't find bitly. Has it been added? Or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks!

Could you try it again? There's a possibility that something that needed restarting wasn't.
