API Arrived for Goo.gl, Google's URL Shortener


After some waiting around since goo.gl went live and became available to the general public in September 2010, the API has finally been released this week.

Documentation can be found at
http://code.google.com/apis/urlshortener/overview.html

and a "Getting Started" guide can be found at

Thanks to Google and the URL Shortener Team for releasing this.
