[SOLVED] Link shortener for Termux?

[bat999]

Hi
I’ve found a YouTube video that shows ShortUrl running in Termux.
Here it is…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yBrFWZovXc

So far I’ve been able to run ShortUrl from command-line with my Linux Desktop PC.

Before I go any further to try it with Termux…

Are there already any link shortener packages that are available for Termux?

So that I can install it easily with command…
pkg install [package name]

This is ShortUrl running with Linux…

Hello again.

Inside that ShortUrl git is a file named “url”.
It’s a bash script.
So I’ve copied it into Termux Home and made it executable… chmod +x url
No need to install it with a package manager.
Now I can run it like this…
./url
Then select options 1 or 2 or 3.

Here is ShortUrl running with Termux…

Hello again
I made a lean and mean version of the url script.
Now it runs like this…

./url [URL]

Example…

./url https://forum.f-droid.org/

I suppose it would be possible to use different shorteners instead of tinyurl.
For example bitly.com and others.

Line 15 in the script is…
shorturl=$(curl -s http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=$1)

So it would need different api addresses instead of tinyurl.

This is the modified script…

#!/bin/bash
#
#
# ShortUrl
# January 30 2021.
#
# Usage:-
# ./url <URL>
#
## Inspired by Tahmid Rayat.
## https://github.com/htr-tech/shorturl
#
#
printf " \e[0m\e[1;91m[\e[0m\e[1;97m~\e[0m\e[1;91m]\e[0m\e[1;93m Shorting Url...\e[0m\n"
shorturl=$(curl -s http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=$1)
sleep 2
printf "\e[0m\n"
printf " \e[0m\e[1;91m[\e[0m\e[1;97m~\e[0m\e[1;91m]\e[0m\e[1;93m Done !!\e[0m\n"
printf "\e[0m\n"
printf ' \e[0m\e[1;91m[\e[0m\e[1;97m~\e[0m\e[1;91m]\e[0m\e[1;92m Shortned Url :\e[0m\e[1;93m %s \n' $shorturl
printf "\e[0m\n"
sleep 2
printf "\e[0m\n"
printf "\e[0m\n"
exit 1

And here it is in action…
