API Models expected

@akk5597 @psurana-ncsu
What is the URL model that Post API expects from the front end?

FYI @alunavat

[akk5597]

For /new, the POST request should look like this

{
    "long_url": <long URL entered by user>
}

And the response would be

{
    "long_url": <long URL entered by user>, 
    "special_code": <special code generated by system for verification during update or remove>, 
    "stub": <stub that would be used for short link>
}

For /stub/{stub}, there would only be a GET request that would return a redirection.

If need be, we can change it to be POST on /stub/ that needs

{
    "stub": <stub>
}

And the response would be

{
    "long_url": <long URL entered by user>
}

Let me know which one is more convenient @deep-mm, cc @alunavat

[alunavat]

@akk5597 -> Weren't we also supposed to have an expiration date?

[deep-mm]

@akk5597 leta directly redirect users to long url, that should serve the purpose.

@alunavat lets keep expiration date at low priority for now and add it later if time remains.

Sure, that works @deep-mm
