An URL Shortener

This project is my first attempt at a URL shortener. It's a simple web app that allows you to short any URL you want by API request. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good, I swear! It's also open source, so you can check out the code on this page.

Usage

Create a short URL

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"url":"example.com/mypath"}' https://s.x16.me/api/short

Get a short URL

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"short":"AAAAAA"}' https://s.x16.me/api/url

Redirect from a short URL

curl -IX GET https://s.x16.me/AAAAAA
