Error Handling
The library comes with built-in exception handling to manage common errors such as invalid links, not found links, timeouts, or connection issues.
from shortly import Shortly
from shortly.errors import (
ShortlyInvalidLinkError,
ShortlyLinkNotFoundError,
ShortlyTimeoutError,
ShortlyConnectionError,
ShortlyJsonDecodeError,
ShortlyError
)
client = Shortly(api_key="your_api_key", base_url="gplinks.com")
try:
response = client.convert("https://example.com/long-url")
print(f"Shortened Link: {response}")
except ShortlyInvalidLinkError:
print("The provided link is invalid or malformed.")
except ShortlyLinkNotFoundError:
print("The short link does not exist or has expired.")
except ShortlyTimeoutError:
print("The request took too long and timed out.")
except ShortlyConnectionError:
print("Failed to connect to the server.")
except ShortlyJsonDecodeError as e:
print(f"JSON decoding error: {str(e)}")
except ShortlyError as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
Handling Timeout
If the request takes too long and exceeds the specified timeout, a ShortlyTimeoutError will be raised.
from shortly import Shortly
from shortly.errors import ShortlyTimeoutError
client = Shortly(api_key="your_api_key", base_url="gplinks.com")
try:
link = client.convert("https://example.com/long-url", timeout=5)
print(f"Shortened Link: {link}")
except ShortlyTimeoutError:
print("The request took too long and timed out.")
Handling Connection Issues
If there's a problem connecting to the API, a ShortlyConnectionError will be raised.
from shortly import Shortly
from shortly.errors import ShortlyConnectionError
client = Shortly(api_key="your_api_key", base_url="gplinks.com")
try:
link = client.convert("https://example.com/long-url")
print(f"Shortened Link: {link}")
except ShortlyConnectionError:
print("Failed to connect to the server.")
