f = $.get('https://api-ssl.bit.ly/v3/shorten/?format=json&access_token=derpderpderp&longUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com%2F')
f.done(function(r){ console.log(r);});

Output:

Object
data: Array[0]
  length: 0
  __proto__: Array[0]
status_code: 500
status_txt: "UNKNOWN_ERROR"
__proto__: Object

What is this UNKNOWN_ERROR? Without any status_txt I have no way of knowing what went wrong. The longUrl is copied from their docs, so it shouldn’t be a URI encoding error.

    In this case you can use your &login=LOGIN&apiKey=KEY instead of &access_token=TOKEN. Try http://bitly.com/a/your_api_key
