 * I am excited to pay you for the API, but it still says “Coming Soon!”…
 * When, exactly, will you release this?

 * Hello,
   Thans for reaching out to us.Create short link API is already built in
   URL Shoritfy.You can use `url-shortify/v1/links` route to create new short links.
   You can pass the `url` as the post argument and it will generate short URL for
   the specified URL.Hope that helps.

 * Ah ok. Your plugin page says “Coming Soon”. Do you have any other functionality
   capabilities or methods / parameters in the API? Any documentation? We’d like
   to be able to generate, expire, update, etc.

 * Can you please just document what is available and exactly how to use the API?
   You can do that in this response for others looking for help as well if you dont
   want to update the documentation on your website. this is such a powerful and
   unique feature, it really is the only plugin doing it, so please help and add
   methods and params!

   POST: {{wordpress_url}}/wp-json/url-shortify/v1/links?url=google.com
 * I tried sending as form data, JSON body, query param, and encoded url query param.
 * I get this:
 * {
 * “code”: “rest_forbidden”,
 * “message”: “Sorry, you are not allowed to do that.”,
 * “data”: {
 * “status”: 401
 * }
 * }

   will be available by the mid January.Meanwhile, please refer to the [REST API Authentication](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/)

 * Hey guys, I’d also be interested in the API + documentation. It would be great
   for making your tool work on the frontend of our intranet.

 * Hey [@mikeatkaizencoders](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeatkaizencoders/),
   according to the changelog you implemented the API, can you tell us how to use
   it or is there a documentation? I couldn’t find it.
