Can I use the Ping.fm API to just shorten a longer URL to a http://ping.fm/whatever one?

My Ping.fm Dashboard says "Go ahead, post a link. We'll convert it to a short link before posting to your services." and I have seen shortened http://ping.fm/ URLs on Twitter.

I would like to add Ping.fm as an URL shortener service of peSHIr Tweets (http://is.gd/cob or http://getsatisfaction.com/peshir/pro...) and have registered an API key for this, but have not found an API call that enables the use of URL shortening alone. Does this exist?

If not, I'll just add ping.fm as a shortener service that is recognized by peSHIr Tweets. This means that (re)posting Ping.fm shortened URLs will not get shortened by peSHIr Tweets again using the shortener service the user has currently selected in its settings.
 
happy I’m hopeful
