Links Shortener

Links Shortener is a useful online tool provided by memofy.com to make web links shorter and easier to share. Registered users will benefit from getting links usage statistics, but service is available for anonymous users as well.

There is an API provided for Links Shortener to ease the integration to external applications and services.

Here is how it could be used:

To shorten link access the following URL: http://memofy.com/memofy/shortener?type=s&u=LINK_TO_SHORTEN
Where LINK_TO_SHORTEN is fully qualified URL
Shortened link will be returned in a response

Registered users could benefit from getting links usage statistics, by adding + to shortened address, like
http://memofy.com/memofy/l/YOU_SHORT_LINK+?type=s.

You could access user's shortened addresses usage statistics if you provide correct username in following URL:
http://memofy.com/memofy/l/YOU_SHORT_LINK+?type=s&username=USERNAME.

If given user does not have a requested link then 0 is returned as link usage. Please note that statistics is not available for anonymously shortened links.
