API endpoint?

Hi,
I saw that perhaps a year ago, someone posted a topic about an API endpoint. Is that still in the works?

I use a sharing plugin that is not integrated with URL Shortify (Easy Social Share Buttons) but there is an option to use a “custom URL shortener” with URL and API key.

What I’d like to do it have the plugin use a short URL for some of the social shares.

Alternately — I don’t have auto generated links turned on currently — but if I did is there some way to have that link automatically on the front of the post to be available? I do see there’s a way to let users create shortlinks on the front of the website — I suppose I could add that to allow users to shorten URLS from the “Copu URL” option in my social sharing plugin…but I’m kind of afraid of making it possible for anyone to generate a shortlink.

Thanks.
