JSON Response

Plugin for YOURLS.

Add .json (or a custom string/character) to the short URL to get info about it as a JSON response.

Installation

1. Change to the user/plugins directory

   • git clone https://github.com/tessus/yourls-json-response.git json-response

     or

   • create a directory json-response and copy the files of this repository to it

2. Activate the plugin (in your YOURLS admin page)

Configuration

By default the suffix .json is used. However, it is possible to use a different string or character.

In config.php add the following (to change the suffix to .j):

define('TESSUS_JSON_TRIGGER', '\.j');

Please note that certain characters have to be escaped. The plugin uses a regex to search for the suffix. Therefore all characters that have a special meaning in the regex world will have to be escaped accordingly.

Usage

Just add the JSON suffix to the short URL.

The JSON response consists of 4 keys: url, title, keyword, and shorturl.

Example

$ curl -s http://g0to.ca/cu2t8.json |jq
{
  "url": "https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/109NPR6TPF108?&sort=default",
  "title": "Helmut K. C. Tessarek's Wish List",
  "keyword": "cu2t8",
  "shorturl": "http://g0to.ca/cu2t8"
}
