## About

## What it does
URL Shortener lets you create short links from absolute http or https URLs, then resolve those codes back to the original destination. Send a `url` in the request body and get back a response with a `code`, `short_url`, `long_url`, `permanent`, and, when applicable, `expires_at`.

Use `permanent` when you want a link that never expires. When `permanent` is false, the response may include an expiry timestamp; when it is true, `expires_at` is omitted. The generated short URL includes the `/service/u/{code}` path, so you can store or share it directly without building the link yourself.

This is a good fit for product analytics, share links, campaign redirects, and internal tooling where you need a stable short alias for a longer destination. On the redirect endpoint, send the `code` in the path and the service returns an empty response after routing the user to the original URL.

## Usage

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
