Introduction

Short URL is a tool service provided by Ace Data Cloud for generating short links. Through the unified API of Ace Data Cloud, you can quickly integrate Short URL using JavaScript to achieve URL shortening, custom domain names, and other features.

​
Prerequisites

  • Have an Ace Data Cloud account and obtain an API Token
  • Node.js 18+ or a modern browser environment

​
Basic Usage

The main endpoint for calling the Short URL API is: 
POST https://api.acedata.cloud/shorturl
Complete JavaScript code example: 
const response = await fetch("https://api.acedata.cloud/shorturl", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
  "content": "https://platform.acedata.cloud"
}),
});

const result = await response.json();
console.log(result);
Please replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with the actual Token you obtained from the Ace Data Cloud platform.

​
Response Handling

It is recommended to check the response status code and handle errors: 
if (response.ok) {
  const result = await response.json();
  console.log("Call succeeded:", result);
} else {
  console.error(`Call failed, status code: ${response.status}`);
  const error = await response.text();
  console.error(error);
}

​
Node.js Wrapper

It is recommended to encapsulate it as a reusable function: 
async function callShortURL(data) {
  const response = await fetch("https://api.acedata.cloud/shorturl", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.ACE_API_TOKEN}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(data),
  });
  if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`API error: ${response.status}`);
  return response.json();
}
