# Sink API Writing API documentation manually can be very laborious, and we will automatically generate documents after the official release of [Nitro's OpenAPI](https://nitro.unjs.io/config#openapi). This place provides an example of creating a short link API. Other APIs are currently available for viewing through browser developer tools. ## API Reference ### Create Short Link ```http POST /api/link/create ``` | Header | Description | | :----- | :------------------------- | | `authorization` | `Bearer SinkCool` | | `content-type` | `application/json` | #### Example ```http POST /api/link/create HEADER authorization: Bearer SinkCool HEADER content-type: application/json BODY { "url": "https://github.com/ccbikai/Sink/issues/14", "slug": "issue14" } ``` The BODY data must be JSON. ```http RESPONSE 201 BODY { "link": { "id": "xpqhaurv5q", "url": "https://github.com/ccbikai/Sink/issues/14", "slug": "issue14", "createdAt": 1718119809, "updatedAt": 1718119809 } } ``` | Parameter | Type | Description | | :-------- | :------- | :------------------------- | | `id` | `string` | This is automatically generated by Sink | | `url` | `string` | This is confirmation of the submitted URL and is required. | | `slug` | `string` | This is slug generated by the system, either automatically or from the input (if provided) | | `createdAt` | `timestamp` | This is automatically generated with a UNIX Timestamp. | | `updatedAt` | `timestamp` | This is automatically generated with a UNIX Timestamp. |
