Description: # API Project: URL Shortener Microservice for freeCodeCamp ### User Stories 1. I can POST a URL to `[project_url]/api/shorturl/new` and I will receive a shortened URL in the JSON response. Example : `{"original_url":"www.google.com","short_url":1}` 2. If I pass an invalid URL that doesn't follow the valid `http(s)://www.example.com(/more/routes)` format, the JSON response will contain an error like `{"error":"invalid URL"}`. *HINT*: to be sure that the submitted url points to a valid site you can use the function `dns.lookup(host, cb)` from the `dns` core module. 3. When I visit the shortened URL, it will redirect me to my original link. #### Creation Example: POST [project_url]/api/shorturl/new - body (urlencoded) :  url=https://www.google.com #### Usage: [this_project_url]/api/shorturl/3 #### Will redirect to: http://forum.freecodecamp.com
