Ow.ly API

Ow.ly is a link shortening and expanding application that allows users to either shrink or expand URLs for web pages, uploaded photos, and uploaded documents.

The Ow.ly API allows developers to access and integrate the functionality of Ow.ly with other applications and to create new applications. Some example API methods include shortening URLs, expanding URLs, retrieving information about URLs, and accessing statistics of clicks.
