Shorten.REST actions 6
Every Shorten.REST action below is a callable tool any Definable persona can invoke.
Create Alias
Tool to create a new alias (short URL) under a specified domain. Use when you need to shorten a URL. If no domain is specified, the alias will be attached to the default domain Short.fyi. You can override domain-level Meta Tags and Tracking Snippets by specifying them for each URL.
Delete Alias
Tool to delete a single alias by providing alias and domain. Use when you need to remove an existing shortened URL. If no domain is provided, the API searches for the matching alias within the Short.fyi domain.
Get Aliases
Tool to retrieve all URL aliases of the authenticated user. Use when you need to list existing aliases (supports pagination).
Get click data for aliases
Tool to retrieve click data for shortened URLs. Use to check click analytics for your aliases. Returns a list of click records which may be empty if no clicks have occurred yet. Returned records may represent a limited window or subset of historical clicks rather than complete per-click logs.
List aliases by domain
Tool to retrieve all alias names associated with your account and a given domain. Results are in descending order by creation date. Use when you need to list alias names (not full details) for a specific domain with pagination support.
Update Alias
Tool to update an existing short URL alias by providing its alias name and domain. Use when you need to modify destinations, metatags, or snippets for an existing alias. IMPORTANT: When updating array properties (like destinations), the entire array is replaced, so you must include all existing records you want to keep.
