How to Acquire Required Keys and Tokens

1. Create a Bitly Account:

   • Click on "Registered OAuth Apps" and then "Add a New App".
   • Fill in the required information to create a new app. The "App Name" and "App Description" can be anything, but for "Redirect URIs," you'll need to specify the URIs that Bitly will redirect to after authentication.
   • After creating the app, you will receive a Client ID and Client Secret.

3. Generate an Access Token:

   • You can generate an access token from your Bitly account settings.
   • Go to https://app.bitly.com/settings/api/, and click on "Generic Access Token" to create a new token.
