EN: Our API can be used to shorten links. There is no limit of the shortened links and links are kept for ever, so it is worth considering the use of szort.us to create short links in your own application. Using the API is completely free and requires no registration. You can also create libraries or programs to help explore szort.us.<br>
PL: Nasze API moze być wykorzystywane do skracania linków. Nie ma żadnego limitu co do skracanych linków (patrz regulamin->4.) a linki są przechowywane dożywotnio (regulamin->5.), dlatego warto zastanowić się nad wykorzystaniem szort.us do tworzenia krótkich linków we włąsnej aplikacji. Korzystanie z API jest w pełni darmowe i nie wymaga żadnej rejestracji. Można również tworzyć biblioteki lub programy pomagające wykorzystać szort.us.
