This plugin extends Yourls API functionality to include a custom action for retrieving analytics data for short URLs. The action can be accessed through the endpoint /yourls-api.php, and requires the following parameters:

• date: The start date for the analytics data (required).
• date_end: The end date for the analytics data (optional, defaults to the start date if not provided).
• shorturl: The short URL for which analytics data is requested (required).
