**I am in no way endorsed by Shorte.st to create this plugin. I did it for fun, and I am sharing it with you guys.**


What is Shorte.st?
Shorte.st is an advertising network based on links that are spread over the Internet. Unlike other ad networks we don’t need even a single pixel of your precious webpage space. We simply take care of your links. Every time a user clicks a link on your website we redirect him to an intermediate page with an ad, after five seconds he’s being taken to the destination URL.
What is Shortest4Bungee?
Using Shortest4Bungee, we can harness the power of Shorte.st. Whenever a link is put in chat, it is automatically converted to a shorte.st link, using your API token(set in the config). Whenever someone clicks that link, it will open up a Shorte.st ad, and give you(Server owner) some money!

How do I set it up?

1. Drag the Shortes4Bungee.jar into the "plugins" folder in your server
2. Restart your Bungee Cord Proxy
3. Create an account on Shorte.st
   Go to https://shorte.st/tools, and copy your API token.
4. Edit the config.yml to your liking, and save it.
5. Restart your Bungee Cord Proxy
6. Post a link in chat.
7. enjoy

How does it Work?
When someone posts a link in chat, the plugin will submit an API request to the Shorte.st website. It will use your token(from config) in the request, and it will return a shortened link, tied to your account, which will link to the originally posted link.

Permission
shortest.bypass - Anyone with this permission will not have their links shortened.

Config
api_token : This is your API token from the Shorte.st site. It will allow the links to be tied to your account, and give you money!

Spoiler: Config Example

Code (Text):

api_token: 63b77c9a88b94e6857a22ae2db3c8fa7
