Make a short link from a GET request

Create a small link you can share, manage, and expire.

How it works

Pass one public URL to create a short link, or repeat the URL parameter to build a collection of destinations. Optional aliases, expiry times, use limits, and QR codes are available.

A private management key is returned on creation. Store it securely; link analytics and edits require that key.

Creating a link changes state. Do not prefetch creation URLs, and use the documented idempotency control for retries.

Try the API

Percent-encode URL and payload query values before making a deliberate request.

GET /v1/shorten?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com
