TinyLink gets a Public API

After a lengthy discussion with Charl last night I got some inspiration and created a Public API for TinyLink. The API can be used through a REST or JSON request and if you’re a developer you can chose either to integrate into your application.

Charl has kindly created an example Python script and a PHP one will follow shortly.

I also spent some time and created an About page which highlights what the service is about as well as what’s on the TODO list.

Finally, I wanted to thank Dominique for doing the hard maths and working out that based on the current database structure TinyLink can hold a total of 2,176,782,336 urls. Calculators were needed!

I’m really not sure why but this project has got me very excited…
