    <ul>
        <li>short: the short URL you want to get. example: {{domain}}/example</li>
        <li>long: the long URL you want to short</li>
        <li>qr: if you add this parameter you will get an base64 encoded QR code image</li>
        <li>apikey: you can add this argument, if you want to assign this link to your account.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>example API call with curl: <i>curl -d "apikey={{apikey}}&short={{domain}}/example&long=http://example.com" -X POST {{url_scheme}}://{{domain}}/user/api</i>

        <li>qr: If you enabled the QR code this will include a QR code of the shorten link as base64 coded jpeg image</li>
    </ul>
