+# 💻 Get Short URL
+
+A Java Cloud Function for generating a Short URL using [tinyurl](https://tinyurl.com/app) and [bitly](https://bitly.com/)
+
+Supported providers: tinyurl, bitly
+
+_Bitly Example input:_
+
+
+
+```json
+{
+    "provider": "bitly",
+    "url": "https://google.com"
+}
+```
+
+_Bitly Example output:_
+
+
+```json
+{
+    "success": true,
+    "url": "https://bit.ly/3CywbjA"
+}
+```
+
+_Tinyurl Example input:_
+
+
+
+```json
+{
+    "provider": "tinyurl",
+    "url": "https://google.com"
+}
+```
+
+_Tinyurl Example output:_
+
+
+```json
+{
+    "success": true,
+    "url": "https://tinyurl.com/dck67zxk"
+}
+```
+
+_Error Example output:_
+
+```json
+{
+    "success": false,
+    "message":"Provided URL: https://xyz is not valid, please provide a valid, correctly formed URL"
+}
+```
+
+
+## 📝 Environment Variables
+
+List of environment variables used by this cloud function. These must be passed within 'variables' section of the request:
+
+**BITLY_API_KEY** - Pass this API key if the requested provider is bitly. This API key would be the access token used by bitly for generating a short URL.
+
+**TINYURL_API_KEY** - Pass this API key if the requested provider is tinyurl. This API key would be the access token used by tinyurl for generating a short URL.
+
+## 🚀 Deployment
+
+1. Clone this repository, and enter this function folder:
+
+```
+$ git clone https://github.com/open-runtimes/examples.git && cd examples
+$ cd java/short_url_generator
+```
+
+2. Enter this function folder and build the code:
+```
+docker run -e INTERNAL_RUNTIME_ENTRYPOINT=Index.java --rm --interactive --tty --volume $PWD:/usr/code openruntimes/java:v2-11.0 sh /usr/local/src/build.sh
+```
+As a result, a `code.tar.gz` file will be generated.
+
+3. Start the Open Runtime:
+```
+docker run -p 3000:3000 -e INTERNAL_RUNTIME_KEY=secret-key --rm --interactive --tty --volume $PWD/code.tar.gz:/tmp/code.tar.gz:ro openruntimes/java:v2-11.0 sh /usr/local/src/start.sh
+```
+
+Your function is now listening on port `3000`, and you can execute it by sending `POST` request with appropriate authorization headers. To learn more about runtime, you can visit Java runtime [README](https://github.com/open-runtimes/open-runtimes/tree/main/runtimes/java-11.0).
+
+## 📝 Notes
+ - This function is designed for use with Appwrite Cloud Functions. You can learn more about it in [Appwrite docs](https://appwrite.io/docs/functions).
+ - This example is compatible with Java 11.0. Other versions may work but are not guarenteed to work as they haven't been tested.
