Utility
URL shortener
Create short links via xmplr.link.
Paste a destination URL, optionally choose a custom slug and when the link should expire. Short links are created through Exemplar’s server using your configured worker—ideal for sharing long URLs in docs, chats, or runbooks. You can also look up metadata or remove a link by slug when you need to rotate or clean up.
Create link
Destination must start with http:// or https://. Adjust expiry below if you need a different lifetime.
Manage by slug
Fetch metadata or delete a link. Use the slug from the short URL path.

FAQs
Where are links stored?›
Links are created on the configured short-link worker (for example xmplr.link). This page calls Exemplar’s API routes, which authenticate to that service—your admin token stays on the server.
How does expiry work?›
Pick how long the short link should last—one hour, one day, or one week. The default is one week.
Can I use a custom slug?›
Yes, when it is 3–32 characters using letters, digits, underscores, or hyphens, and not a reserved name like `api` or `health`.
Why a separate page?›
Like Exemplar Viz, this flow uses a dedicated route so we can offer a focused layout and server-backed actions without loading the generic utility shell.
General
Do these tools send my data to Exemplar’s servers?›
By default, conversion and formatting run entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to Exemplar for normal paste-and-transform workflows. Tools that deliberately open an external service (for example, a third-party speed test) are called out on the page.
Do I need an account or install anything?›
No account is required. Everything runs in the browser—there is nothing to install for these utilities. They complement the Exemplar platform but work standalone.
Are these utilities open-source or the same as other sites?›
These pages are built for Exemplar’s audience (developers working with APIs, config, and ops data). Behavior may differ slightly from other online tools; always verify critical output in your own environment.
Are there size or performance limits?›
Very large inputs can slow down or crash the tab—especially for images, huge JSON, or multi‑MB HAR files. For production-scale data, prefer local CLI tools, streaming parsers, or your own pipelines.
Can I use output in production?›
Yes, when you have validated it. Parsers and formatters here aim to be helpful for everyday tasks but are not a substitute for tests, schema validation, or security review where it matters.
