- I can POST a URL to
[project_url]/api/shorturl/new
and I will receive a shortened URL in the JSON response. Example :{"original_url":"www.google.com","short_url":1}
- If I pass an invalid URL that doesn't follow the valid
http(s)://www.example.com(/more/routes)
format, the JSON response will contain an error like{"error":"invalid URL"}
. HINT: to be sure that the submitted url points to a valid site you can use the functiondns.lookup(host, cb)
from thedns
core module. - When I visit the shortened URL, it will redirect me to my original link.
