	-d "urls[0][long_url]=https://example.com/your-long-url&urls[0][custom_hash]=example&urls[0][note]=My%20first%20link!"

PHP

Shorten URL using stream functions:

$long_url = 'https://example.com/your-long-url';
$custom_hash = "example";
$note = 'My first link!';

$api_user = 'john_d';
$api_key = '2cd573c2-33a5-41cc-94ce-6030e8a026b1';
$api_endpoint = 'http://cycsch.me/tiny/api/3/urls';

$payload = json_encode([
	'urls'=>[
		[
			'long_url'=>$long_url,
			'custom_hash'=>$custom_hash,
			'note'=>$note
		]
	]
]);

$context = stream_context_create([
	'http'=>[
		'method'=>'POST',
		'header'=>implode("\r\n",[
			'Content-Type: application/json',
			'Content-Size: '.strlen($payload),
			'X-Tinycc-User: '.$api_user,
			'X-Tinycc-Key: '.$api_key,
		]),
		'content'=>$payload,
		'ignore_errors'=>'1'
	]
]);

$stream = @fopen($api_endpoint, 'r', false, $context);

if(!$stream){
	die('Connection error!'.PHP_EOL);
}

$response = @json_decode(stream_get_contents($stream), true);
fclose($stream);

if(empty($response['error']['code'])){
	if(empty($response['urls'][0]['error']['code'])){
		print_r($response['urls'][0]);
	}else{
		print 'Error:'.PHP_EOL;
		print_r($response['urls'][0]['error']);
	}
}else{
	print 'Error:'.PHP_EOL;
	print_r($response['error']);
}

print PHP_EOL;

JavaScript

Shorten URL using fetch() method:

async function shorten()
{
	const api_url = "http://cycsch.me/tiny/api/3/urls",
		api_user = "john_d",
		api_key = "2cd573c2-33a5-41cc-94ce-6030e8a026b1", 
		data = {
		urls:[
			{
				long_url: 'https://example.com/your-long-url',
				custom_hash: 'example', 
				note: 'My first link!'
			}
		]
	};

	return fetch(api_url, {
		method: "POST",
		body:  JSON.stringify(data),
		mode: 'cors',
		headers: {
			"Content-Type": "application/json",
			"X-Tinycc-User": api_user,
			"X-Tinycc-Key": api_key
		}
	});
};

shorten()
	.then((response) => {
		if (response.ok) {
			// Get JSON value from the response body
			return response.json();
		}
		throw new Error(`HTTP error! Status: ${response.status}`);
	})
	.then((result) => console.log(result))
	.catch((error) => console.error(error));
