Link shortening has several categories of users.
- One-time users who shorten a link several times a month to send it to a friend in a messenger;
- Regular users - who use the shortener regularly, but in small volumes
- Corporate clients - large structures and organizations that use shorteners to the maximum
Corporate clients are the ones who may need the shortening API most often, when a developer from the customer's side can request shortening of thousands of links with special conditions and settings in several requests.
The formation of a request on the part of the customer may depend on many factors, such as the task, business features, and desired results. But on the part of the shortener, using API is a standardized and simple process.
You will need an account in the shortlisting service with access to the function of creating API tokens - unique keys to access the service's functionality.
After receiving the key, use the APi integration documentation
As a result, you will be able to use all the available functionality within the limit of your tariff.
What does the shortener API allow?
- Shorten any number of clicks according to the limits
- Request link statistics
- Request tariff limits
- Delete short links
- Set/change password for a link
- Set/replace alias - the shortest link
- Replace a previously shortened long link
All the functionality is available via API requests, which significantly speeds up the work and allows you to integrate the shortener into your infrastructure quickly and securely.
