You can POST a URL to /api/shorturl
and get a JSON response with original_url
and short_url
properties. Here's an example:
{
original_url : 'https://freeCodeCamp.org',
short_url : 1
}
When you visit /api/shorturl/<short_url>
, you will be redirected to the original URL.
If you pass an invalid URL that doesn't follow the valid http://www.example.com
format, the JSON response will contain:
{ error: 'invalid url' }
