Just another URL shortener, you know? We take long URLs, and we make them shortner, suitable for use in places where characters are at a premium (such as Twitter, or in chat rooms where pasting long URLs can annoy people).
You are welcome to post links to whatever you want, within reason. Links used to spam people (both on websites and via email), links that go to phishing sites or malicious sites containing viruses, malware, or other bad stuff, and links that go to sites containing content that is illegal in the US will all be removed. I would also prefer if you did not chain redirects together (i.e., making a short URL that goes to another short URL, on this site or elsewhere). We reserve the right to remove any URL at any time, for any reason.
The API script is located here:
http://fizl.us/api.php
To use it, send a GET request with the following parameters:
Example: http://fizl.us/api.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com&custom=goog
If successful, the content of the page will contain the new short URL as plain text. If there is any kind of error, the content will begin with "Error:" followed by a description, also in plain text.
This API may be subject to change, but probably not. Feel free to use it in your applications but please do not abuse it.
