This API converts long URLs into short URLs.
If the same long URL has already been shortened in the same account, it will return the previously shortened URL.

We assume you have already added your own domain go.example.com
, you can shorten your link by request API:
https://api.u301.com/v2/shorten?domain=go.example.com&url=https://google.com
Which specifies the domain in the query string, and that will override the default domain.
