Free Code Camp API Basejump: URL Shortener

User stories:

1. I can pass a URL as a parameter and I will receive a shortened URL in the JSON response.

2. When I visit that shortened URL, it will redirect me to my original link.

Example creation usage:

• http://localhost:5000/new/https://www.google.com
• http://localhost:5000/new/http://freecodecamp.com/news

If you want to pass a site that doesn't exist (or an invalid url) for some reason you can do:

• http://localhost:5000/new/invalid?allow=true

Example creation output:

{ "original_url": "http://freecodecamp.com/", "short_url": "http://localhost:5000/0" }

Usage:

http://localhost:5000/4

Will redirect to:

http://freecodecamp.com/
