Short URL API

This document describes how to use the Short URL API to programmatically shorten your links for use in SMS messages e.g., marketing promotions

The API follows standard REST API conventions, messages are submitted as POST requests with a JSON payload describing the details of the message to send. The account credentials are passed in the form of a JWT Token in the Authorization HTTP Header (see section below regarding authentication).

An HTTP 200 OK response indicates that the message was successfully delivered to the API. Alternatively, an HTTP 40x response indicates that there was a problem with the request that was submitted, and an HTTP 50x that there was a temporary fault in the service.

All requests should be encoded using the UTF-8 Charset.
