Hello @dishamodi0910 ,

Creating a URL shortener backend involves building a service that takes long URLs and generates shorter, more manageable URLs.

app.post('/api/shorten',())

1. Shorten URL:

   • POST request to /api/shorten with JSON body { "originalUrl": "https://www.example.com/blogs/nature-topic/edit }
   • Response: { "originalUrl": "https://www.example.com/blogs/nature-topic/edit", "shortUrl": "http://localhost:5000/abc123"}

2. Redirect:

   • GET request to http://localhost:5000/abc123
   • Should redirect to https://www.example.com/blogs/nature-topic/edit
