Shortlinks

Purpose

Create compact redirect codes for long HTTPS URLs and resolve code-to-URL paths.

When To Use

Use when URLs are too long to share directly (for example presigned object links).

Inputs

• •enabler bundle has already populated .enabler/connection.json.
• •enabler credentials has already populated .enabler/credentials.json.
• •ENABLER_COGNITO_USERNAME, ENABLER_COGNITO_PASSWORD, ENABLER_API_KEY.

Workflow

1. •Create a short code for a target URL:

./enabler shortlinks create "https://example.com/path/file.txt"

1. •Create a named alias:

./enabler shortlinks create "https://example.com/path/file.txt" --alias ticket-link

1. •Resolve a code into a full redirect URL:

./enabler shortlinks resolve-url ticket-link

1. •Inspect raw JSON output (if needed):

./enabler shortlinks create "https://example.com/path/file.txt" --json

# Compact JSON variant
./enabler --plain-json shortlinks create "https://example.com/path/file.txt" --json

Outputs

• •A short code.
• •A resolvable URL under connection.shortlinks.redirectBaseUrl.

Guardrails

• •target_url must be https://.
• •Treat short codes as secrets when they point at presigned targets.
• •Run enabler bundle again if endpoints in .enabler/connection.json are stale.
