title: TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'dict' objects error with Bit.ly_API
body: <p>I'm having a bit a problem. I'm still very new to python. So dict's are very new to me. I know of solve problems as I go and hopefully learn from my mistakes. </p>
  
  <p>So the error is below with 'shortURL' in the first text variable. Just wondering what the issue means and how I could go about solving it? I've had a look online and didn't fully understand why as a lot of issues where looking at string but the bit.ly_api just return a URL. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help :) </p>
