perma.cc support #36
Description
Hi Folks...
I'm wondering if you could add perma.cc to embiggen. While perma.cc isn't strictly a link shortener, for purposes of altmetrics, it's usually desirable to look at the parent page.
def parsePermaCC(incomingurl)
if incomingurl.include? "perma.cc"
archive = incomingurl.split("perma.cc/")[1]
# https://perma.cc/docs/developer#get-one-archive
url = "https://api.perma.cc/v1/public/archives/#{archive}"
uri = URI(url)
response = JSON.parse(Net::HTTP.get(uri))
return URI(response['url'])
else
return incomingurl
end
end
this is some ruby I hacked up (I usually code in python, so... this is probably all sorts of badwrong) which takes a uri and finds the perma.cc parent url or just passes the url through if not perma.cc'd. I'm thinking an invocation for this can go into follow()
Let me know if this is something you folks would like to include here, or if I should go raise a ticket in altmetric for this.
Cheers,
