Fair use

Rate limited.

10 new links, 30 stat lookups and 60 redirects per minute, per caller.

How it works

Three steps. That's all.

  1. 01

    Paste a link

    Any http or https address, up to 2048 characters. We reject anything else.

  2. 02

    Share the short link

    Anyone can follow it. No key needed for visitors, only for creating links and reading stats.

  3. 03

    Check the clicks

    Each redirect adds one to the count. Look it up by code, any time.

POST /shorten
curl -X POST https://your-host/shorten \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'
