Error "400- INVALID_ARG_LONG_URL"

I'm getting this message when trying to shorten URLs using Bitly "The value provided is invalid."

Check the destination URL supplied to Bitly:

1. URL is too long

Bitly accepts destination URLs up to 2,048 characters, including punctuation. This is Bitly's limit, not a general web-standard limit.

2. Missing URL scheme

Use the complete destination URL, beginning with https:// or http://. Bitly accepts both schemes.
