To create a short goo.gl link short_url from a long link long_url , using the Google key api_key , you can issue an http POST request :

 import requests # $ pip install requests api_url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url' r = requests.post("{api_url}?key={api_key}".format(**vars()), json={'longUrl': long_url}) short_url = r.json()['id']
