How to shorten a link:

Currently the only way to shorten a link is to do a POST request against /create with the following parameters:

  • username: Your username
  • password: Your password
  • url: The URL that you want to shorten

Output:

  • Status code 403: Invalid username/password
  • Status code 400: Invalid URL
  • Status code 500: An error occurred while creating the URL
  • Status code 201: URL created
    • Also outputs a JSON object with the alias. Example: 
      {
    alias: "obier"
}
