Check Spammers API
Currency Exchange Rate API
Short URL API
MyXavier Micro Blogging API
File Subscription API
Forum Signature API

At the moment this API is only open for people developing services for Xavier Media.

To make a URL shorter via this API you need to send a request to api.xvr.me/api.php (or api.2ve.org/api.php as before) with the following parameters:
api = The unique API ID you got from Xavier Media
key = Your API key you got from Xavier Media
longlink = The link you want to make shorter
action = To make a link shorter you should set this to makeshorter
fileformat = Format of the response. You can select between txt, xml or json (always lower case). If not provided or left blank xml will be used as the standard output.
shortpath = Optional! Is the part after the standard API domain and can be provided is the user would like to select something easy-to-remember. For example avier would return a short link as http://2ve.org/xavier if that is available, otherwise a 500 error is supplied.

The response you get back from the API will look something like this:


The shorter URL is found in the shortlink tag. The tag numcharshorter will tell you how much shorter your short link is then your long link , in this case 17 characters shorter.

Standard API Domain

Each API key have a standard domain used for the short links and this domain can be any of the domain names available (at the moment xvr.me, 2ve.org and ryqn.com). To check which the standard API domain is, just send a request to the API server with the following:

api = The unique API ID you got from Xavier Media
key = Your API key you got from Xavier Media
action = To get the standard domain action would be requestsite
fileformat = Format of the response (see above for file formats)

If you make a link shorter, you also get the standard API domain in the short link response as "link".

Error messages

If something goes wrong with the API request for example if you miss-spell your API key you will get an error message with a response code other then 200.

The error message contains a message describing the problem and may look like this:


Updated 2012-05-20: Added new format, new short links domains, new action (request standard API domain).
