  Free URL Shortener API — No Limits, No Signup, Just Works
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I recently built a simple service that provides a free, developer-friendly URL shortener API.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It’s designed for anyone who needs short links in tools, scripts, or web apps without worrying about rate limits or authentication.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Features
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Completely free&lt;/strong&gt; — no usage limits or hidden restrictions
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No authentication required&lt;/strong&gt; — just send a request
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Simple JSON API&lt;/strong&gt; — works with any language or framework
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Fast and lightweight&lt;/strong&gt; — built for developer use cases&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Example
&lt;/h3&gt;


&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-X&lt;/span&gt; POST http://urlfy.org/api/v1/shorten &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-H&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Content-Type: application/json"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s1"&gt;'{"url": "https://example.com"}'&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Response&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;{"shortUrl": "SHORT_URL", "cid": 304}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
