In my effort to figure out how to make an awesome URL shortener I created a bit.ly similar API for heap. It works just like the bit.ly API for the shorten, and expand methods. You can also use the XML, JSON, or Txt output formats. Along with being able to set a webhook for each link, you can also set a webhook globally for your account. That way any link you shorten that gets used will send a post to the shortened links endpoint, and to your global endpoint.
