in Solution 3 move ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType)3072

before creating request:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/shorten")

and it will work. Also refine regex search.

To access twitter using C#, you will use a similar method (including signing up for a developer's account). Here is an example of how to do that:
