# API Project: URL Shortener Microservice for freeCodeCamp

### User Stories

1. I can POST a URL to `https://equal-microwave.glitch.me/api/shorturl/new` and I will receive a shortened URL in the JSON response. Example : `{"original_url":"www.google.com","short_url":1}`

2. If I pass an invalid URL that doesn't follow the valid `http(s)://www.example.com(/more/routes)` format, the JSON response will contain an error like `{"error":"invalid URL"}`. *HINT*: to be sure that the submitted url points to a valid site you can use the function `dns.lookup(host, cb)` from the `dns` core module.

3. When I visit the shortened URL, it will redirect me to my original link.
