+
+```kotlin

+
+```json
+{ "shorturl": "https://is.gd/Pt2sET" }
+```

+
+```kotlin
+Isgd.shorten(url = url, shorturl="foobar", callback = "test", logstats = true, format = Format.JSON)
+```
+returns:
+
+```json
+test({ "shorturl": "https://is.gd/foobar" });
+```
+### Gradle
+
+To use with [Gradle](https://gradle.org/), include the following dependency in your [build](https://github.com/ethauvin/isgd-shorten/blob/master/examples/build.gradle.kts) file:

+```gradle
+repositories {
+    jcenter()
+}
+
+dependencies {
