URL786 API

A predictable REST API for creating and measuring short links. Authenticate with an API key generated from your dashboard.

Authentication

  -H "Authorization: Bearer lw_live_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"destination_url":"https://example.com/product","custom_alias":"spring"}'
