Some time ago VRChat implemented short links on their website:

Certain places like the new discord events have (for some reason) a character limit meaning the full VRChat invite links wouldn't fit into the box. It would be handy if VRCX would allow users to copy the short link VRC generates.
The API for that is documented here by the community: Unofficial VRChat API Docs
This would be an example API call for a instance I randomly grabbed from one of my friends, it won't work as I have removed a few characters to obfuscate it:
