Remote URL Shortening

If you are interested in using tnyb.it via remote requests, simply submit your requests using the URL formats below. We will return a plain text string with the shortened/preview URL.

URL Shortening:

• http://tnyb.it/s?u=http://example.com
• http://tnyb.it/s?u=example.com
• http://tnyb.it/s?u=example.com&i=123 (associates with your account)
• http://tnyb.it/s?u=example.com&i=123&h=Y (sets the URL to Private)

URL Previewing:

• http://tnyb.it/p?u=http://tnyb.it/MTA
• http://tnyb.it/p?u=tnyb.it/MTA
• http://tnyb.it/p?u=MTA

Configure your Twitter client to use tnyb.it

• A lot of Twitter apps, including Tweetie, Tweetings, etc. allow you to setup a custom url shortening service. Enter the following into the your app's custom settings in order to use tnyb.it
  • W/ Account: http://tnyb.it/s?i=<your account #>&u=%@
  • No Account: http://tnyb.it/s?u=%@
• You should verify with your Twitter client that uses the %@. Most use the %@ as the marker for the URL you are submitting, but some may differ slightly. If so, simply replace %@ with your app's required marker. That information is typically found in their About and How To guides.
