The BitlyData class exposes all of the Data API endpoints available to bit.ly developers. They are named the same way, as well. For example, the "hot_phrases" endpoint that bit.ly exposes is similarly named hot_phrases as an instance method of the DatBit object.
One thing you will have to do is sign up with bit.ly as a developer and get an access token, as the BitData class's __init__ method takes one as a required parameter on instantiation.
Go get your access token here
from bitdata.bitdata import BitData
bitly = BitData("tokenyouretrieved")
hot_phrases = bitly.hot_phrases()
