Regarding archiving

Just randomly requesting TinyURLs like you propose will get you banned since you are making many requests for non-existent TinyURLs. We do allow bots to crawl TinyURLs, but only if they are crawling TinyURLs that exist which they pulled from whatever source they are crawling.

A Problem Easily Solved

Just provide for us an excel spreadsheet in the form of:

tinyurl ID | full URL

And scraping won't be necessary. Up for it?

I e-mailed the TinyURL owner and he replied with that.

Another URL shortener

I ran into another URL shortener: http://ln-s.net/home/ Here's their API: http://ln-s.net/home/apidoc.jsp Jodi.a.schneider 17:05, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

xrl.us

Could you archive xrl.us (metamark.net), please? Thank you! -- Pne 12:08, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
