headers = {
    'accept': "application/json",
    'content-type': "application/json",
    'authorization': "<<apiKey>>"
    }

response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

const axios = require('axios');

const data = {
    "iphoneURL":"https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google-sheets/id842849113",

axios.post('https://api.short.io/links/LINK_ID', data, options)
.then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
})
.catch(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'
require 'json'

url = URI("https://api.short.io/links/LINK_ID")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url)
request["accept"] = 'application/json'
request["content-type"] = 'application/json'
request["authorization"] = '<<apiKey>>'
request.body = JSON.generate({"iphoneURL":"https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google-sheets/id842849113","androidURL":"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.docs.editors.sheets&hl=en"})
