--- title: The sl. url description: sl.shebang.pro/ — resolved by resource id, and unaffected by the public-id change. --- # The sl. url A short link is served at: ``` sl.shebang.pro/ ``` or, once a custom alias is set (see [short links and aliases](/sherlink/short-links-and-aliases)): ``` sl.shebang.pro/ ``` ## It serves the resource, not a redirect to it `sl.` answers a plain `200` with the wrapped page or file's own content directly. It does not `302` to the `p.` or `f.` address underneath — visiting a short link is indistinguishable, from the response, from visiting the resource's own address. ## Resolved by id, not by handle or slug A short link resolves by its underlying resource's id, which is exactly what makes it unaffected by the change described in [public ids and urls](/concepts/public-ids-and-urls): where an old `@handle/slug` address needed a `301` bridge once public ids landed, a short link never needed one, since it was never built from a handle or a slug to begin with. ## Looking one up `link_get` accepts a code, a custom alias, or a link id interchangeably — whichever you have on hand: ``` link_get({ code_or_id: "launch" }) ``` ## Next [Tools](/sherlink/tools).
