CleanURI
URL shortener service.
About CleanURI
CleanURI is a URL shortening service that exposes its functionality through a REST API. The API accepts a single POST endpoint at /api/v1/shorten, which takes a long URL as a parameter and returns a shortened link in JSON format.
Requests require the input URL to be URL-encoded, with reserved characters and spaces properly encoded before submission. The API is rate-limited to 2 requests per second per IP address.
This service is aimed at developers who need to integrate link-shortening functionality into their own applications programmatically, rather than end users shortening links manually through a web interface.
Key features
- Shortens long URLs via a single POST endpoint
