Hi,

shortenURL() is not working for me and return this message instead of the shorl URL:

This script is for compatibility with applications using is.gd's legacy API. It only works with requests in the old format (e.g. http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=example.com) which your request did not match. If you're having any problems with this or developing a new app please use the latest API instead, see http://is.gd/developers.php for full documentation.

Using the link given, i tried:
request = requests.get("http://is.gd/create.php", params = { 'format': 'simple', 'url': "www.google.com"})

instead of:
request = requests.get("http://is.gd/api.php", params = { 'query': "www.google.com"})

And it seems to be working as intended.
