Can I shorten the following URL from

https://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/csl-apidev/servepdf.php?dict=VCP&page=3867,a

to something like

bit.ly/abcde?dict=VCP&page=3867,a ?

What I tried:

I tried to shorten https://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/csl-apidev/servepdf.php to bit.ly/abcde

And then invoked bit.ly/abcde?dict=VCP&page=3867,a

But it failed. The arguments did not get passed.

Edit:

My question is not restricted to any particular URL shortening service in particular. My question is whether it is possible to shorten such REST APIs or not. If yes, how?

  • How is a support request regarding the use of a proprietary URL shortener on topic here per the scope of the site defined in the [help/on-topic]? – esqew Dec 18 '21 at 04:56
  • My request is not for solution which must be proprietary in nature. It was just a reference. – Dhaval Patel Dec 18 '21 at 05:04
  • Question is whether such REST APIs can be shortened ? If yes, how? I am not able to find much detail on searching the web. To use X service or Y service is immaterial to the problem. Sorry, if I did not make myself clear in the question. – Dhaval Patel Dec 18 '21 at 05:07
  • Perhaps https://webapps.stackexchange.com/ is a better place to ask? (vide https://webapps.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic ) – vishvAs vAsuki Dec 19 '21 at 14:43
