-## Problem
-Problem liegt derzeit bei der Verwendung von shrt.Get mit der übergabe eines inteface.
+## Restful API
 
+Short an URL
 ```
-package main
+GET: http://example.com/api/action/shorten?key=API_KEY_HERE&url=http://example.de/shortening/main?q=5x
 
-...
-
-var redirect string
-if ok := shrt.Get(token, &redirect); ok {
-    // do something with the redirect.
-}
+Response: 
+{ "action": "shorten",
+  "result": "https://example.com/5kq" }
 ```
 
-Entgegen genommen wird es bei `lib/shrt.go`:
+Lookup for existing URL
 
 ```
-// Get returns the URL for the given token
-func (s *Storage) Get(token string, value interface{}) bool {
-  if hash, ok := s.Token[token]; ok {
-    fmt.Printf("Url gefunden %s mit Hash: %v \n", s.Url[hash].URL, hash)
-    value = s.Url[hash].URL
-    fmt.Printf("Value: %V \n", value)
-    return true
-  }
-  return false
+GET: http://example.com/api/action/lookup?key=API_KEY_HERE&url_ending=5kq

+Response: 
+{ "action":"lookup",

-Ich dachte eigentlich ich könne redirect damit manipulieren wenn ich es als pointer auf redirect übergebe aber das scheint nicht so zu sein....
