Overview of 301LINK documentation

301LINK Documentation

301LINK is a lightweight and anonymous link shortener with an open API. Accounts are anonymous, access is private, and the links are short.

End Users

End users should register for an account at the Account Page, and access their URLs from the Dashboard Page. The remainder of this document is dedicated to using the API.

API Overview

1. Call /v1/new_account to receive an access code (UUID). This code authenticates all subsequent requests.
2. Call /v1/link with your long URL and access code.
3. Point users to https://301link.com/{shortcode} or call /v1/get/{shortcode} directly.

Limits

New accounts have 20 links maximum.

Rate limits are imposed to prevent abuse. They are very generous, so be reasonable with your usage.
