API reference
These are the three public endpoints. All request and response examples describe the current server implementation.
1. POST /api/links — Create a short link (authenticated)
Auth: Use either a signed-in session cookie or Authorization: Bearer sk_live_.... API keys require the links:create scope and do not grant access to other management endpoints.
Request fields
| Field | Location | Required | Type / default |
|---|---|---|---|
tenantId | body | yes | string — Tenant id used for ownership and routing context. |
destinationUrl | body | yes | http(s) URL — Primary redirect destination. |
code | body | no | string — Custom code; omit for a random code. |
label | body | no | string — Human-readable label. |
campaignId | body | no | string — Optional campaign identifier. |
eventId | body | no | string — Optional event identifier. |
abTargets | body | no | {url, weight}[] — Weighted alternative destinations. |
targetingRules | body | no | object — Country and device destination maps. |
password | body | no | string — Application-layer password gate; it does not encrypt the stored destination. |
maxClicks | body | no | integer | null — Expire after this many successful clicks; null means unlimited. |
ogTitle | body | no | string — Optional Open Graph title. |
ogDescription | body | no | string — Optional Open Graph description. |
ogImageUrl | body | no | URL — Optional parseable Open Graph image URL. |
sourcePlatform | body | no | string — Optional free-text source label. |
Behavior and limits
- API-key scope:
links:create. - Custom
codemust match^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,64}$(maximum 64 characters); omit it for a 7-character random code. abTargetsaccepts at most 12 entries; each integer weight is 1–100.targetingRules.countryaccepts at most 20 keys (two-letter country codes ordefault). Device keys areios,android,desktop,default. Country takes precedence over device, then A/B targets, thendestinationUrl.maxClicksis null or an integer of at least 1.- Active-link quotas are 10 random and 3 custom links per non-admin user. A full quota currently returns 400.
- Google Safe Browsing checks
destinationUrland every A/B/country/device destination. MissingGOOGLE_SAFE_BROWSING_API_KEYfails closed with 400. passwordis an application-layer gate, not encryption; the destination remains plaintext in the database.
Response
Partial response example (additional non-secret row fields may be present):
{
"link": {
"code": "my-slug",
"tenant_id": "site",
"destination_url": "https://example.com/promo",
"is_custom_slug": true,
"max_clicks": 100,
"hasPassword": true
}
}
Status codes
201— created400— invalid input, unsafe destination, missing Safe Browsing key, or active-link quota full401— missing or insufficient authentication409— custom code already exists500— unexpected server or database error
2. POST /api/links/anon — Create a trial short link (no authentication)
Auth: No authentication. Rate limiting uses a hash derived from host, IP, and User-Agent.
Request fields
| Field | Location | Required | Type / default |
|---|---|---|---|
destinationUrl | body | yes | http(s) URL — The only field read by the route; extra fields are ignored. |
Behavior and limits
- The route reads only
destinationUrl; any extra fields are ignored. - Each daily-rotating fingerprint can successfully create at most 5 links in a rolling 60-minute window. The fingerprint rotates at UTC midnight; failed validation or creation attempts do not consume the limit.
- Links use a 7-character random code and expire after 7 days.
- The response is redacted exactly like the authenticated route: it includes
hasPassword: falseand never includespassword_hash. - Safe Browsing is mandatory and fails closed with 400 when its server key is missing.
Response
Partial response example (additional non-secret row fields may be present):
{
"link": {
"code": "c7s4ttt",
"tenant_id": "site",
"destination_url": "https://example.com",
"expires_at": "2026-08-21T10:35:46.360Z",
"is_custom_slug": false,
"hasPassword": false
}
}
Status codes
201— created400— invalid or unsafe destination, including a missing Safe Browsing key429— anonymous rate limit reached500— unexpected server or database error
3. GET /api/links/{code}/qr — Render a dynamic QR code (public)
Auth: No authentication. The link code must exist.
Request fields
| Field | Location | Required | Type / default |
|---|---|---|---|
color | query | no | string; default: #000000 — Must be an exact six-digit hexadecimal color in #RRGGBB form; invalid values return 400 JSON. |
dotType | query | no | enum; default: rounded; square, dots, rounded, classy, classy-rounded, extra-rounded — Invalid values fall back to rounded. |
cornerType | query | no | enum; default: extra-rounded; square, dot, extra-rounded — Invalid values fall back to extra-rounded. |
size | query | no | number; default: 512 — Finite values are clamped; non-numeric values fall back to the default. |
Behavior and limits
- Allowed
dotTypevalues:square,dots,rounded,classy,classy-rounded,extra-rounded. Invalid values fall back torounded. - Allowed
cornerTypevalues:square,dot,extra-rounded. Invalid values fall back toextra-rounded. - Finite
sizevalues are clamped to 128–2048; non-numeric values fall back to 512. colordefaults to#000000and must match^#[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}$. Invalid values return400JSON{"error":"color must be an exact #RRGGBB hexadecimal value"}.- The encoded URL uses the tenant host when the tenant is registered, otherwise the apex host, and always appends
?qr=1for scan-source attribution. - The response Content-Type is

Response
