soultcer: re... tinyback? what's that? |
|

It is a ruby script to backup shorturls. I.e. I say "backup tinyurl.com starting with aaaa and ending with zzzz" and it will try to fetch all shorturls from that range and store them into a file |

SvenG |
oh.. i see |
|
14:52
🔗
|
SvenG |
and i beliebe you want this kind of backup for all kinds of url shorteners, right? |
|
14:52
🔗
|
soultcer |
Yeah, at the moment it only supports some of the biggest shorteners like tinyurl, bit.ly, is.gd, ... |
|
14:52
🔗
|
SvenG |
by the way... is there a shorter word for "url shorteners"? |
|
14:53
🔗
|
soultcer |
Though with the new python version ("tinyback2") it will include a way to backup "any shortener" given that the shortener uses reasonable http headers |
|
14:54
🔗
|
soultcer |
Nope, I think URL shortener is the only word that is used |

soultcer |
For comparing the shorteners? |
|
15:06

SvenG |

|
15:06
🔗
|
SvenG |

|
15:07
🔗
|
SvenG |
we'll see what kind of output they give and how long they are |
|
15:07

|
SvenG |

|
