You can shorten URLs with a POST-request:

  curl -X POST https://website.name/add?url=https://add.me

This will give you JSON-response back with the generated 5 character UID:

[{"uid":"abcd5"}]

With that you can go to for example to https://website.name/abcd5 and you will be redirected to https://add.me
