R.IM Short URL API:

The r.im API has just two functions - shorten a URL or retrieve the original url from a short URL. Calls to the API are made via HTTP requests

1. Get Short URL

Make an HTTP GET request to http://r.im/api/index.cfm?long_url=[YOUR LONG URL HERE]

(e.g. http://r.im/api/index.cfm?long_url=http://www.google.com)


2. Get Long URL

Make an http request to http://r.im/api/index.cfm?short_url=[R.IM SHORT URL HERE]

(e.g. http://r.im/api/index.cfm?long_url=http://r.im/8)

Note: Both calls simply return a text string containing the short url and original long URL respectively.
