GoTiny API
Overview
GoTiny is a lightweight, open-source URL shortener API with a focus on simplicity for both developers and end users. It requires no authentication and provides a clean JSON response, making it one of the easiest shorteners to integrate. You can shorten any valid URL with a single POST request and receive a short gotiny.cc link.
Beginner Tip
Send a POST request with a JSON body containing the "input" field set to your long URL and you will get a short gotiny.cc link back. No API key or account is needed: just install and go.
