Mgnet.me vs RedirHub
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.
RedirHub is a URL-redirect and link-management platform focused on bulk redirects, custom domains with automatic HTTPS, uptime monitoring, and click analytics. It exposes a REST API (Bearer API key) for programmatically creating and managing redirect rules and hosts, returning JSON. A free tier covers a limited number of redirects and one domain, with paid plans adding volume, more domains, and longer analytics retention.
