URL Shorteners — entry 007 of 14
Mgnet.me
Mgnet.me is a niche shortener for BitTorrent magnet URIs rather than web pages: a GET or POST to /api/create with a magnet parameter returns a short mgnet.me link that redirects back to the original magnet. The API is keyless and can return JSON, XML, or plain text (with JSONP callback support), but the service is HTTP-only — no TLS is available on its endpoints.

HTTPSNot supportedPlain HTTP only — avoid sending anything sensitive.
CORSDisabledBrowser calls need a server-side proxy.
PricingFreeNo paid tier — free for the documented use case.
FormatsJSON, XML, TextResponses can be requested as JSON or XML or Text.
