Shorten links with bit.ly - asked for API key
I'm trying to configure bit.ly as the shortening service, and I am being asked for an API key. Is that one for bit.ly or twitterfeed?
I’m bemused

Inappropriate?That's the bit.ly API key you can see on your bit.ly account page.

Mario, you have ro realize some people don't know as much as you about computers. What is it? Where exactly can I find it on the page? -
By default this is hidden, as it's not needed unless you want to track your clicks in your own bit.ly account.
In short, if you don't know what it is, it's safe to leave all the API info blank. -
I'd like to know where in bit.ly the API key is listed - can you provide some pointers?
-
It's on the http://bit.ly/account/ page (can't miss it).

Inappropriate?Thanks.

Inappropriate?Bit.ly... If you do not create an account BIT.LY to get the thought of the web API can not count the clicks on their shorten links. If you do not want to create an account you can use another server to shorten links.
