Input/Output formats

Here you can find detailed information on input parameters required by JotURL API methods along with their output formats.

Input requests

Each JotURL API accepts that the parameters are passed through both the GET and POST HTTP methods.

GET example

HTTP query

https://api.joturl.com/a/v1/shorten?login={PUBLIC_KEY}&key={PRIVATE_KEY}&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joturl.com%2F&alias=jot

related HTTP GET headers

Ouput formats

The JotURL API supports Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) requests from any domain.

All JotURL APIs support four return formats: json, jsonp, xml, txt. Note that the txt (text) format may return only limited information. The default output format is format=json that is also used when the parameter format is invalid (e.g., format=jsonp but no callback parameter is specified).
