Tiny URL API

tiny-url-api.php

<?php
echo file_get_contents('http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url='.'http://www.example.com/');

/* For example
http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://www.fullondesign.co.uk/

Would return:
http://tinyurl.com/d4px9f
*/
?>

It does work*

Wow very powerful, nice!

Works! I’m personally going to use it in Shortcuts

Superb, thanks for sharing..

thank you so much the most powerful one liner api I have ever used.

You can use with alias (nice key) also.
Ex: https://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=https://drivebird.com&alias=newdrivebird
Please note the alias must be available in their database as well as minimum 5 character long.

The best solution, thank you so much

Does anybody know if tinyurl.com enforces any rate limits or throttling on this endpoint?

it is not working for me also giving 'Error' for custom alias

it is not working for me also giving 'Error' for custom alias

That could be because you are using a custom alias that is already in use. Try a different custom alias.

Hi ,it is working for me tested 10 dynamic url .Shall we use this for 1 lakh to generate dynamic url and has tinyurl officially announced API for this.

cool is working love it

Very Cool! Made my job easier! Thanks!

This is so useful. I have three questions. Tiny says this is free as it is ad supported. Where are the ads?? Also, are there usage limits on this? And, what happens if a url you submit has already been shortened before ?
The website for its api has documentation for its restful api, there’s no mention of this one. It could stop working at any time !

Python requests example

import requests

url = 'https://dwhistle.wordpress.com/2020/05/28/who-needed-to-be-saved-us-or-earth/'

base_url = 'http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url='
url = base_url + url
r = requests.get(url)
print(r.text)

urlShortner in Python

Sadly, don't work using POST method

Sadly, don't work using POST method

It works if you use GET method. Not sure why you'd need to use POST.
