What it does

Shorten.REST is the web's most robust, flexible & scale-able Transactional URL Shortening API.

A REST API for branded URL shortening, click tracking and mobile deep linking. Run on AWS multi-AZ infrastructure with a 99.99% uptime SLA, free SSL on custom domains, and predictable per-call pricing.

Branded short links on a domain you own, click intelligence on every redirect, and a documented, programmable API that drops into your stack. No pushy sales calls, ever. Building enterprise-grade infrastructure is not a side project for us — it is the product. Every feature below is in production for paying customers today. Point your top-level or sub-domain at our redirect tier. Free, auto-renewed SSL on each. Referrer, OS, browser, country and bot classification on every click. Export raw events. Redirect tier targets sub-second responses; API targets sub-200ms median in US regions. Route iOS, Android, and desktop traffic to the right destination from a single short URL.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
