A "tiny URL" typically refers to a 3rd party service that will accept a full/long URL and then provide a coded URL for a person to then use for communicating the IRL to people. Typically when in printed format since long URLs can be embedded in links for any digital communications. When those links are utilized, they are first directed to the 3rd party site, which then checks the "tiny URL" parameters to what is stored in their DB and then redirects the user to the intended original URL.

Are you wanting code that will utilize a third party service to generate the tiny URLs or are you wanting to build your own tiny URL service? If the former, you would need to check those services and find one that allows for such external submissions. I would suspect they would have instructions for doing so if it is within their TOS.

If you want to build your own, what have you done so far and where are you stuck? This is a "help" forum, not a do it for me forum.
