Blog ≫ 2009 ≫ bit.ly unshorten api call doesn't work :-(

Badly formatted xml, damn.

Here's their example ¹ oh yeah works fine in JSON but what if I want xml ²? That's not valid xml, so my xml parser isn't picking it up. Can't have a node ³ starting with a number like that. Why put the value in as one of the node ³ names like that anyway? Wonder if I've done this in my own api work at all? Maybe, to give the option of returning multiple values... Ah good bit.ly/roRyu ⁴, and neither should you bit.ly ⁵.

Our new highchair ⁶ has been dispatched!

💬 @pauly http://bit.ly/3ZKJuK How long will it be before bitly codes start with a letter again? That's how long until their api is fixed
