Tools

• tinyurl_change_destination ~232 tokens
  WRITE: point an existing short link at a new destination. DESTRUCTIVE: everyone who opens the short link is sent to the new URL from now on and the old destination is overwritten. The new URL must be http(s). PATCH /change.
• tinyurl_count_links ~274 tokens
  How many short links the account has (active or archived), optionally within a creation date range or filtered by alias or tag. GET /urls/{type}/count.
• tinyurl_create_link ~467 tokens
  WRITE: create ONE new short link for an http(s) destination URL. Optional custom alias (5-30 characters on tinyurl.com), domain (tinyurl.com or a branded domain), tags, expiry and description. Not idempotent: calling it again without an alias creates another link. Returns the new tiny_url. POST /cre
• tinyurl_get_analytics ~502 tokens
  Aggregated click analytics for the account, or for one link (alias) or one tag, from a start date. report: timeline (clicks over time; interval minute/hour/day/week/month), general (browsers, operating systems, devices), weekday and hour (popularity), top_sources (referrers), top_languages, location
• tinyurl_get_link ~192 tokens
  Details of one short link: destination URL, tiny_url, tags, created/expires dates, archived/deleted flags, analytics settings, total hits and owner. GET /alias/{domain}/{alias}.
• tinyurl_list_links ~359 tokens
  List the account's short links (type available = active, archived = archived), optionally created within a date range or filtered by alias or tag. The TinyURL API does not page this list: at most `limit` items (default 50, max 200) are returned together with the total, so narrow with from/to/search
• tinyurl_set_link_archived ~306 tokens
  WRITE: archive an active short link (archived = true) or restore an archived one (archived = false). Archiving moves the link to the archived list; nothing is deleted and it can be restored. The API's archive endpoint is a toggle, so the link's current state is read first and nothing is changed when
• tinyurl_update_link ~503 tokens
  WRITE: change an existing short link's alias, tags, expiry, description or click-analytics switch. At least one new_* field is required. DESTRUCTIVE for what it replaces: new_tags REPLACES all existing tags, and renaming the alias (new_alias) makes the old short URL stop working. The destination URL
