Bitly source

Overview​

The Bitly source connector lets you connect to the Bitly API using a Bitly access token.

At this time, the connector supports credential validation but data extraction is still in development. You can use it to verify connectivity and authentication, but it will not yet sync any data.

Setup​

Prerequisites​

  • A Bitly account with access to create an access token.

Create a Bitly access token​

  1. In Bitly, create a Generic Access Token (sometimes referred to as an access token).
  2. Copy the token value and store it securely.

Authentication​

This connector authenticates using a Bearer token sent to the Bitly API.

During connection setup, the connector validates credentials by calling:

  • GET https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/user

If the token is invalid or lacks required access, the connector will fail validation.

Configuration​

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
access_tokenstringYesYour Bitly access token used to authenticate API requests.

Streams​

No streams are currently available. The connector’s catalog is empty and extraction is not yet implemented.
