Kutt is a simple, modern URL shortener that can be integrated into any project. To use the Kutt API in your JavaScript application, you will need to follow the steps below.
Getting Started
To use the Kutt API, you will first need to sign up for an account on their website. Once you have done that, you can create a new API key by going to "API" in your dashboard and clicking on "New API Key".
Making API Requests
To make API requests, you will need to use the fetch function in JavaScript. Here is an example request to shorten a URL using the Kutt API:
const apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
const url = "https://www.example.com";
fetch("https://kutt.it/api/v2/links", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"X-API-Key": apiKey,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ target: url }),
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => console.log(data))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));
This code will send a POST request to the Kutt API's /links endpoint with your API key and the URL you want to shorten. The response data will be logged to the console.
API Documentation
The Kutt API documentation can be found on their GitHub repo at https://github.com/thedevs-network/kutt/blob/develop/README.md. This documentation includes the available API endpoints, query parameters, request and response types, and examples.
Here is an example of using the Kutt API to get information about a shortened URL:
const apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
const slug = "SHORTENED_SLUG";
fetch(`https://kutt.it/api/v2/stats/${slug}`, {
method: "GET",
headers: {
"X-API-Key": apiKey,
},
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data) => console.log(data))
.catch((error) => console.error(error));
This code will send a GET request to the /stats endpoint with your API key and the slug of the shortened URL you want to retrieve statistics for. The response data will be logged to the console.
