Ok, so I am no expert at this stuff but before the latest update which included the API changes I was able to piece together a chrome extension that would allow for a one-click URL creation of the web page the user was currently on.

Since the change, I have no idea where to start or what needs to be done to have it working again. Is there anyone who can help me out here with this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

See the API page for the format to use it in:

http://gourl.us/api.html

At it's most basic you create a new short url like this:

http://gourl.us/api/v1/01cfd2277a6f3a59e9f74d25f6212a95/shorturl/create/url/BASE64_ENCODED_LONG_URL.json

BASE64_ENCODED_LONG_URL should be replaced with the base64 encoded version of your url. 01cfd2277a6f3a59e9f74d25f6212a95 should be replaced with your API key.

You'll get a JSON response as the above page shows so you can pull out the generated url from it.

Regards,
Adam.

As I try to create a short url using api as follows

http://gourl.es/index.php?api=1&return_url_text=1&longUrl=www.urlgrande.com

of the following error

[API HAS BEEN MOVED, PLEASE GO HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION]

testing on another site that uses the same system it works.

http://urlll.net/index.php?api=1&return_url_text=1&longUrl=www.urlgrande.com
