Supercharge Your Links with the Linkx.ee API

Developers often need more than just a static bio link or URL shortener. That’s where Linkx.ee comes in — it’s a platform for managing links, analytics, QR codes, and branded pages, now with a developer-friendly API.

If you want to integrate link management into your own applications or automate workflows, the Linkx.ee API gives you full control.

What You Can Do with the API

The API lets you:

  • Create and manage short links
  • Generate and customize QR codes
  • Manage bio pages for teams or individuals
  • Retrieve click statistics and analytics
  • Automate campaigns and targeting rules
  • Connect external apps through your own integrations

It’s designed for developers who want flexibility without needing to log into the dashboard every time.

Getting Started

curl -X GET "https://linkx.ee/api/v1/links" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This call fetches a list of your existing links.

Example: Creating a Short Link
Here’s how you can create a new short link with JSON:

curl -X POST "https://linkx.ee/api/v1/links" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com/my-article",
    "domain": "linkx.ee",
    "alias": "my-article",
    "password": null,
    "expiry": null
  }'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now you’ve got a branded short link ready to share.

Example: Fetching Link Stats

Analytics are often what developers need most. Here’s how you can fetch click stats for a link:

curl -X GET "https://linkx.ee/api/v1/links/12345/stats" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Response:

{
  "clicks": 245,
  "unique_clicks": 220,
  "country_breakdown": {
    "US": 100,
    "FI": 45,
    "DE": 30
  },
  "referrers": {
    "twitter.com": 80,
    "linkedin.com": 60,
    "direct": 105
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This makes it easy to build your own dashboards or plug the data into your reporting system.
