Simple tool for creating short links

To generate just insert your long link into the field above, then press "enter" or the button on the right. In the area below appears a ready-made link and a QR-code for it. As you can see, it's very simple.

Be careful, the link must be valid. If you insert a full URL with scheme (protocol usually), make sure that its matches one in this list: source. Or, refuse to insert the full link. An example of a valid URL: example.com, as well as http://example.com/nel/mezzo/del/cammin?di=nostra#vita.

API

Easylink API is very simple to use. Just make POST or GET request to https://el1nk.com/api with parameters "url" and "password". Be careful, you cannot change domain with API.
The answer is JSON string contains 7 values:

error: "false" if everything is OK.
original: your original URL.
short: shorted URL.
qr: QR code address.
password: entered password.
statistics: link to statistics.
private: "true" if password was set.

An example of implementation in PHP:

<?php

/* Using file_get_contents(): */

file_get_contents( 'https://el1nk.com/api?url=example.com' );

/* Using cURL: */

$query = http_build_query( [
    'url' => "example.com",
    'password' => '1234',
] );

$curl = curl_init();

$url = "https://el1nk.com/api";
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $query );

$result = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

Answer:

{"error":false,"original":"example.com","short":"https:\/\/el1nk.com\/B","qr":"https:\/\/el1nk.com\/qr\/show\/55268.png","password":"","statistics":"https:\/\/el1nk.com\/stat\/58","private":false}

If there's an error you'll see something like this:

{"error":{"cause":"empty string"}}
