Does the Google URL shortener have a feature similar to Bitly's HTTP request?

Question

I'm using Bitly currently to shorten links via HTTP request. I'd like to do the same through the Goo.gl service because it's free. I can't seem to find any documentation from Google on such a setup. Here's what I'm using with Bitly.
