Integrations & API Usage

Currently, there is one method that can be used to shorten links on behalf of your account.

 

All you have to do is to send a GET request with your API token and URL Like the following:

https://cryptoshrink.io/api?api=Your-Account-AP -oken&url=yourdestinationlink.com&alias=CustomAlias

You will get a JSON response like the following

{"status":"success","shortenedUrl":""https:\/\/cryptoshrink.io\/xxxxx""}

1. If you want a TEXT response just add &format=text at the end of your request as the below example. This will return just the short link. Note that if an error occurs, it will not output anything.

https://cryptoshrink.io/api?api=Your-Account-AP I-Token&url=yourdestinationlink.com&alias=CustomAlias&format=text

1. If you want to use developers API with the interstitial advertising add the below code to the end of the URL

https://cryptoshrink.io/api?api=Your-Account-AP I-Token&url=yourdestinationlink.com&type=1&alias=CustomAlias&format=text

$result = @json_decode(file_get_contents($api_url),TRUE);

if($result["status"] === 'error') {

 echo $result["message"];

} else {

 echo $result["shortenedUrl"];

}
