shorturlcpp

A tinyurl dashboard that uses C++ and HTMX

Prerequisites

Before running the program, make sure you have the following:

• g++ (GNU C++ compiler)
• libpthread (POSIX threads library)
• libjsoncpp (JSON library for C++)
• libcurl (URL transfer library)
• TinyURL API token (Get it from TinyURL Developer)

Building

To build the ShortURLCPP executable, run the following command:

make

This will compile the program using g++ with the necessary flags.

Set TinyURL API Token

Export your TinyURL API token as an environment variable:

export TINYURL_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

Replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your actual TinyURL API token.

Running

Once the program is built and the token is set, run the executable:

./shorturlcpp

After that go to http://localhost:9090
