Is there an API endpoint that does just this? Say you provide it with a full/normal link ([google.com](http://google.com)) and it returns the shortened version (hubs.ly/abc123). Or should I be looking into bitly API? Below is what I am referring to.

Hi, @AntreasPapadopo 👋 Welcome to our community!

You are not missing an option. While we can access this in-app from the Social Media tool, there is not a HubSpot public endpoint to do this programmatically.

Have fun building! Jaycee
