# ShortURL

> A free URL shortener with downloadable QR codes and a JSON API, available in 20 languages. No account is required to create a link.

Use the visible shortening form to submit a public HTTP or HTTPS URL. The result contains a short link and a QR download. Rate limits and destination checks apply. Never shorten confidential URLs: destination preview pages may be public and indexed.

For integrations, generate an API key on the homepage after human verification, then use the documented POST endpoint. Keys embedded in browser code are visible to visitors. Read both the HTTP status and the JSON status; legacy validation errors may use HTTP 200.
