Features

​
Anonymous vs. authenticated usage

You do not need an account to shorten a URL. Anonymous links are created with a randomly generated slug and are not associated with any account. When you sign in with Google or GitHub, you get access to:
  • Custom slugs on any link you create.
  • A personal dashboard listing all your shortened URLs and their click counts.
  • API key management for programmatic access.
  • The ability to view and manage your link history.

​
REST API and CLI

If you want to shorten URLs from your own applications or scripts, Shorturlx provides a REST API and an official CLI tool.
  • REST API — send a POST request to https://www.shorturlx.xyz/api/shorten with your URL and an optional custom slug. See the API reference for full details.
  • CLI tool — install shorturlx-cli from npm and shorten URLs directly from your terminal. See the CLI integration guide.
