URL Shortener Service API

This is a Flask-based API Service for shortening URLs with optional user_id and variation_sku_id parameters. It is built with Python (Flask) and uses a SQL-based database to store all links and short URLs. It supports short URL generation, redirection, caching, and logging of user actions and requests. This URL Shortener Service API is used in my chatbot "Pricer_bot".
