MyURLToAPI

URL shortening: compact redirect URLs under myurlto.com.

Capabilities

Generates a short redirect URL for any long target. The short link 302-redirects to the original. Stateful — short codes are stable until explicitly deleted server-side.

Note: agents don't always need to call this explicitly. Internal MyAPI services (e.g. payment checkout flows) automatically shorten certain links before returning them. Only call myapi url shorten when a user or workflow specifically asks for a short link, or when generating a URL that will be displayed to users in a constrained surface (SMS, QR codes, etc.).

Commands

Command	What it does
myapi url shorten <url>	Generate a short redirect URL for a long target

The redirect itself is public:

GET /{domain}/{code}
→ 302 Location: <original URL>

No auth required to follow the redirect. Errors: 404 for unknown code or code longer than 16 chars.

Examples

# Shorten
myapi url shorten "https://example.com/very/long/path?parameters=true"
# → { "short_code": "8f2a1b9c", "short_url": "https://myurlto.com/example.com/8f2a1b9c" }

# Use the short URL anywhere (resolves at the apex — NOT api.myurlto.com)
curl -L "https://myurlto.com/example.com/8f2a1b9c"

Notes

• The domain segment of the short URL is extracted from the target URL's root domain.
• Short codes are stable — once minted, they don't change.
• Required: a non-empty url. 400 if missing.

Run myapi url --help for flag reference.
