After including into your project.json just use:

``
var shorturl = require('short-url-generator'),
url = 'https://username:passwd@www.bzz.co.uk:9000/new/session/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=twilio+sms&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=X2ChVuKzHe_H8geE5aOQDw#hashTagAtTheEnd';
out = shorturl(url);

console.log(out);

// Added: 3 Feb 2016 @ 23:44 hrs (UK Time)
// NEW: I added the breaking down Obj.url_details.query
// into JSON of key: value pairs.
//
// Added: 30 Jan 2016 @ 22:57 hrs (UK Time)
//
// Long story short the idea behind having MD5
// is that one you generate short URL for specific URL
// and you persist it, you don't have to store it again
// and just reuse, since the landing URL
// is going to be exactly the same
//
// Also, implementation doesn't cater for domain and protocol
// of the short URL i.e. http://mydomain.com/4g4K2 in our case below
// assuming you know what you downloaded it for.
//
// Same story with the "originator" - as I think you may want
// to populate this nested object with some
// context specific data that outside your application
// would be largely irrelevant...
