Developer API
TehGD offers developers free access to the TehGD API. The API allows any developer to integrate TehGD into their application or website. The API simply prints out in plain text the short URL, you can then display this in your application or website.
Obtaining an API key
Due to the amount of recent spam posted through the API, developers must now obtain an API key. To recieve your developers API key, you must contact us.
Send an email to dev@teh.gd with the following information:
- Your name
- Your email
- Information on how you wish to use the API
Once your request has gone through, we shall email you back with your developer key.
Using the API
Once you have obtained your developer key, you can then start to use the API!
http://teh.gd/api.php?a={AUTHORIZATION KEY}&n={YOUR NAME}&e={YOUR EMAIL}&k={YOUR DEV KEY}&u=example.com&g=UA-1234567-1&p=1
Replace example.com with the URL you wish to shorten. As a new feature, TehGD automatically prepends the http:// protocol to any URL that does not include it - making your life much easier!
| $_POST value | Description |
|---|---|
| u | URL - TehGD will automatically prepend a http:// if one is not found. |
| g | Google Analytics code - please ensure that it's in the correct format: /UA-[0-9]{6,8}-[0-9]{1,2}/ |
| p | Private: 0 (public/default) or 1 (private) |
