Function Details

bulkBitlyShortener(tokens, links)

Parameters:

• tokens (Array of Strings): An array of Bitly API tokens. Ensure tokens are valid and have permissions to shorten URLs.
• links (Array of Strings): An array of long URLs that you want to shorten.

Returns:

A promise that resolves with an array of results. Each result object includes:

• token: The Bitly token used.
• link: The original long URL.
