Expiry in the API

[bpmartin20]

Allegedly there's documentation on the API, but I haven't been able to find it. Please direct me if this has been answered somewhere, and accept my apologies.

Otherwise, if I'm using a programmatic interface to shorten URLs instead of the web interface, can I specify the expiration there?

In my case, I'm using Perl's WWW::Shorten::Yourls. The call there is:
$ShortURL = $YourLS->shorten(longurl=>"https:/...");
Can I do something like:
$ShortURL = $YourLS->shorten(longurl=>"https:/...", age=>35, agemod=>'days');
If so, what are the keys for the various parameters.

Again, my apologies if I missed this somewhere. I read through the code, but nothing stood out to me as a hook into the API.

I got the API issue too. I believe it's a bug. I checked the POST request from the UI, which sends:
yourls-api.php?signature=sample&action=shorturl&format=json&expiry=clock&age=1&ageMod=day&url=https://sample
So yes, it seems like it works with &age=1&ageMod=day. Then I found this pull request #42.
I edited that line, and it worked fine in my case.

Hello,

I tried
https://xyz.com/yourls-api.php?signature=mysign&action=shorturl&format=json&expiry=clock&age=1&ageMod=day&url=test123.de

and I got json file without expiry:

{
"status": "success",
"code": "",
"message": "test123.de zur Datenbank hinzugefügt",
"errorCode": "",
"statusCode": 200,
"url": {
"keyword": "8is",
"url": "test123.de",
"title": "test123.de",
"date": "2024-05-16 08:29:09",
"ip": "x.x.x.x"
},
"title": "test123.de",
"shorturl": "https://xyz.com/8is"
}

and the list of expire is empty :-(
