What it does with ShortFreeURL
Everything the dashboard does, it does through the same REST API you get. Links, domains, tags, folders, QR codes, statistics and conversions are all reachable with an API key, and the responses are the same shapes the dashboard renders.
An OpenAPI document is served live from the running instance, so a generated client always matches the routes that actually exist rather than a spec written by hand and left behind.
Setting it up
- Open Integrations → API in the dashboard and create a key. Choose "public" if the key will sit somewhere a user can read it — a public key can only create links.
- Send the key as the Authorization header value on every request.
- GET /api/openapi.json to generate a client, or start with POST /api/links and a JSON body of {"originalURL":"https://…"}.
- Watch the key's last-used timestamp in the dashboard to confirm your first call landed.
What data moves
- Out: link records, click statistics, conversion records, domain configuration.
- In: new and updated links, tags, folders, conversions.
- Auth: an API key you create, scoped to one domain or the whole workspace, secret or public.
Where this comes from: src/routes/api/ — links, domains, statistics, conversions and /api/openapi.json.
Questions
Is there a rate limit?
Yes, per key. The response headers tell you what is left, and the limit is documented in the API reference.
Can a key be limited to one domain?
Yes. Scope is chosen when the key is created, and a scoped key cannot touch links on another domain.
