Shorttext
Official2 toolsby shorttext
Paste short text, get a shareable URL. Read any by slug; create with an API key.
Create shareable URLs for short text snippets and retrieve them by slug.
Captured live from the server via tools/list.
read_shorttext
Fetch a shortText by its slug (the id in a shorttext.com/{slug} URL). Returns the text body and metadata. Public and unlisted shortTexts are open; private ones need a password. Reading a burn-after-read shortText consumes it.

- slugstringrequired
The shortText slug, e.g. "abc12345".
- passwordstring
Password — required only for private shortTexts.
create_shorttext
Create a new shortText and get a shareable shorttext.com URL back. Markdown is supported. Requires an API key in the request Authorization header (`Bearer st_live_…`, request one from api@shorttext.com) — without it, creation is rejected (reading stays open to everyone).
Parameters (5)
- bodystringrequired
The text content (Markdown supported, max 30,000 chars).
- visibilitystring
Defaults to "public". "private" requires a password.
- passwordstring
Required when visibility is "private".
- expirystring
Defaults to "never".
