Shrinkly: URL Shortener Services

Shrinkly is an npm package that provides easy integration with four URL shortener services that don't require API access tokens. You can easily shorten URLs using CleanUri, IsGd, 1pt, or shrtcode. Additionally, Shrinkly comes with a command-line interface, enabling users to shorten URLs directly from the command line.

Library Usage

Import the `shortenUrl` function from the package and specify one of the four shortening services: cleanuri, isgd, 1pt, or shrtcode. If no service is specified, the default service is isgd.

Example

import { shortenUrl } from 'shrinkly';

const longUrl = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes";
shortenUrl(longUrl).then(shortUrl => console.log(shortUrl));

with custom service:

import { shortenUrl } from 'shrinkly';
const longUrl = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes";
shortenUrl(longUrl, "cleanuri").then(shortUrl => console.log(shortUrl));

Command Line Usage

You can use Shrinkly directly from the command line using npx:

npx shrinkly 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes'

Alternatively, you can install Shrinkly globally for faster command line usage:

npm install -g shrinkly

Example with default service:

shrinkly 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes'

Example with specified service:

shrinkly 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes' cleanuri

For help with command line options, run:

shrinkly --help

Custom Shortlink

Specify a custom shortlink with isgd or 1pt:

const customShort = 'myshrinklink';
const url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes';

shortenUrl(longUrl, "isgd", customShort).then(shortUrl => console.log(shortUrl));
