shorte.st new api convert to php curl - api

Question

shorte.st is a url shorten service.
recently they changed the api as following:
curl commandline
curl H "public-api-token: fakekey" -X -d "urlToShorten=google.com" PUT http://api.shorte.st/v1/data/url
response:
{"status":"ok","shortenedUrl":"http:\/\/sh.st\/XXXX"}
How to change it into php curl version?

Answer 1

function shst($url){
$apiurl="https://api.shorte.st/v1/data/url";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //Set curl to return the data instead of printing it to the browser.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $apiurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT' );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('public-api-token: fakekey','X-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "urlToShorten=".$url);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$obj = json_decode($data);
$ret=$obj->{'shortenedUrl'};
return $ret;
}
The sample they provided used the wrong url. should be https not http

Answer 2

This works:
function shst($url){
$key="";//your key
$curl_url = "https://api.shorte.st/s/".$key."/".$url;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $curl_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$array = json_decode($result);
$shortest = $array->shortenedUrl;
return $shortest;
}
