TinyURL · TinyURL create API

Create a short tinyurl.com link that redirects to a supplied long URL.

tinyurl.shorten-url v0.1.0 active free — no wallet

Community-maintained Tracert listing of TinyURL's keyless create endpoint. Given a long URL, returns a short tinyurl.com link that publicly redirects to it; an optional custom keyword may be requested. This is a WRITE that creates a durable public artifact (the short link). The same long URL always yields the same short link (TinyURL dedupes), so the write is idempotent. The submitted URL becomes publicly resolvable, so never include secrets, tokens or private query parameters. Example - GET /api-create.php?url=https://tracert.site returns https://tinyurl.com/28y67wky (text/plain). Not affiliated with or endorsed by TinyURL.
