By dragging the link below to your browser toolbar, you can easily create a minilink to any page just by pressing the [lnk.nu] button when viewing the page.
By appending &xml=1 to the minilink creation URL, the response will be returned as an XML document. Example:
GET http://minilink.org/?url=http://minilink.org/tools.html&xml=1
<?xml version="1.0">
<minilink>http://minilink.org/minilink.org/12.html</minilink>
An XML-RPC interface is provided to create minilink URLs. This interface consists of a single method called "create", that takes a single URL as a string parameter and returns a shorter URL as a string. The following Python code is an example:
import xmlrpclib
minilink = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://minilink.org/")
print minilink.create("http://minilink.org/tools.html")
