Can I shorten the following URL from
https://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/csl-apidev/servepdf.php?dict=VCP&page=3867,a
to something like
bit.ly/abcde?dict=VCP&page=3867,a ?
What I tried:
I tried to shorten https://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/csl-apidev/servepdf.php to bit.ly/abcde
And then invoked bit.ly/abcde?dict=VCP&page=3867,a
But it failed. The arguments did not get passed.
Edit:
My question is not restricted to any particular URL shortening service in particular. My question is whether it is possible to shorten such REST APIs or not. If yes, how?
