Make a POST-request to /api with the parameter "url" set to your desired destination. Schort will generate an id for you and respond with the short link in plain text.

To resolve a link you just have to make a GET-request and add the "resolve" parameter. The value of this parameter doesn't matter and gets ignored. This makes schort print out a plain text string of the original URL.

Append a plus sign ("+") to your short URL. You'll receive a clickable link to the remote destination.

Take a look at the API.
