shorten
This is an image hosting service which generates URLs in the form of /random_word/random_word.
I no longer use it and it is here for archival purposes.
Features
- Upload images, URLs (with auto forwarding), text or any other type of file
- Automatic MIME-Type detection
- Link "renaming" support
- Links expire after they remain unused for a set duration, this duration can be specified per upload
- Single-use URLs by setting the expiry duration to 0
- Multiple user and site support
- Ability to add custom words in the wordlist
- Can act as a custom upload destination for ShareX
Requirements
You need a LAMP.
Setup
- Import the DB Schema from
db.sql - Setup the necessary config for the database and users in
common.php - Configure your screenshot tool to upload files (see REST API section)
REST API
Authorization
Simply add the POST parameters for "name" and "key" to authenticate as the corresponding user.
Users are configured in common.php.
POST /upfile.php
Uploads a file. Returns the shortend URL.
Required parameters are "name", "key", "expiry" in POST body, as well as a file.
"expiry" is the time after the first visit, when the link expires. This timer is reset after each subsequent visit. "expiry" is parsed with strtotime (e. g. "+2 days")
POST /uplink.php
Uploads a link. Returns the shortend URL.
Required parameters are "name", "key", "expiry" and "link" in POST body.
"expiry" is the time after the first visit, when the link expires. This timer is reset after each subsequent visit. "expiry" is parsed with strtotime (e. g. "+2 days")
"link" is the link to forward to.
GET /redirect.php
Returns the file, or redirects to the destination link of the URL.
Required parameters are "id" and "pass".
The .htaccess file included in this repository converts any URL in the form of /<id>[/<pass>][.<extension>] to redirect.php?id=<id>&pass=<pass>.
