im trying to define some variable with the hash of my short link, using bit.ly api:

$['getJSON']('http://api.bit.ly/v3/shorten?login=myusername&apiKey=myapi&longUrl=http://google.com', function (shortlink) {
console['log']('short_url');
e = _shortlink['hash'];

i'm trying to define the "e" variable as the hash of the link. I mean the result of the link is:

{ "status_code": 200, "status_txt": "OK", "data": { "long_url": "http:\/\/google.com\/", "url": "http:\/\/bit.ly\/blabla", "hash": "XXXXX", "global_hash": "YYYYY", "new_hash": 0 } }

as u can see, I need not only to "GET" the "hash" variable, I also need to dig into the "data" result and only then get from it the hash.

I want that my "e" variable will be in the end of the day

e = XXXXXX

what should I do?

thanks alot!

$.getJSON('http://api.bit.ly/v3/shorten?login=myusername&apiKey=myapi&longUrl=http://google.com', function (response) {
console.log('short_url');
e = response.data.hash;
