if statement - How to automatically track when a bit.ly link has been clicked x times -

-

i'm looking running promotion users tweet custom bit.ly (or other url link service) link , have link clicked others x times (say, 3 times) automatically have piece of content (think pdf) unlocked them.

i'm @ bit of loss how accomplish this. thinking of using ifttt.com, don't track how many times bit.ly link has been clicked.

so steps following:

  1. generate new unique link given webpage
  2. track when link has been clicked 3 times
  3. automatically send user email when link has been clicked 3 times link unlocked content

anyone have ideas here? can think of scraping bit.ly's stat page periodically , seeing how link has been clicked, seems potentially quite slow , resource intensive.

you host own url shortener take care of counting clicks, redirecting bit.ly/whatever, emailing, etc.

for instance: http://yourls.org/

edit: well, bit.ly seems have pretty nice api. check http://dev.bitly.com/link_metrics.html#v3_link_clicks

Does Firefox offer AppleScript support to get URL of windows? -

-
i trying write applescript that, among other things, gets url of every open webpage in firefox. in safari (and chrome), done simply: tell application "safari" return url of every tab in every window however, seems me firefox offers no real applescript support, such getting url of tab or window. when google terms "firefox" , "applescript" together, firefox bug requests asking applescript support restored, last updated in 2010 or 2011 (like this , this ). am right in thinking, then, firefox no longer offers proper applescript support? realize there semi-workarounds, such simulating key-commands in applescript, aren't practical purposes. to see of applescript commands firefox responds to, launch applescript editor, select menu file > open dictionary... , , choose firefox application. you'll find you're expecting: firefox doesn't offer useful applescript commands.
