This repo contains components for a URL shortner service running on Amazon's API Gateway and Lambda services. It is compatible with most applications that can use URL shortening automatically, such as Tweetbot.

• API Gateway front-end
• Lambda Python function back-end
• DynamoDB datastore

The main.tf Terraform file contains basic resources required for DynamoDB including a table and IAM role with associated policies.

To use this install and configure Terraform for your AWS account.

redir-v2-swagger.json contains a Swagger JSON definition for the front-end interface. This can be imported into your AWS using Amazon's API Gateway Importer.

NOTE: References to Amazon account id have been replaced with {{YOUR AWS ACCOUNT ID}}. You will need to change these to your numeric AWS account id.

All Lambda functions are organized under lambda using the Apex framework.

NOTE: References to Amazon account id have been replaced with {{YOUR AWS ACCOUNT ID}}. You will need to change these to your numeric AWS account id. Also, pick a simple password for authentication {{PASS}}.

Once you install Apex, you can deploy via the CLI:

> cd lambda
> apex deploy

And execute locally via the CLI:

> cd lambda
> echo '{ "token":"xxxxxxx" }' | apex invoke lookup_token

To configure URL shortening in Tweetbot, go to preferences and configure "custom" URL shortening. For the API endpoint, use: "https://{{YOURDOMAIN}}/?auth={{PASS}}&url=%@".
