Plip.io offers an easy to use, fast, URL shortening API so you can add link shortening functionality right to your own apps. Just sign up for an API key and you're off to the races. The Plip.io API is an easy to use replacement for the goo.gl API which is shutting down in March, 2019. Plip supports CORS and SSL. You can add, delete and edit links all via the API. Plip.io is a URL shortener and QR code generator wiht a difference. You can edit your links after they've been created so you can change the destination link. Plip turns your long, ugly links into short, usable URLs. It's great for social media where space is tight and you don't want a big ugly link taking up half your post. Plip is useful for hiding affiliate links, and keeping confusing parameters out of your final URL.
