TinyURL is a URL redirection service that takes a long URL and makes it a shorter one more appropriate for posting in a tweet, sending in an email, etc. You can also use it to hide information in a URL such as an affiliate link.
Here we use the API for TinyURL and a FileMaker web viewer to get the result. The format of the request is the following:
http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=URLHERE
It returns a page that simply contains the new Tiny URL. The FileMaker script waits a couple of seconds and then grabs that result and places it into a field.
