Creating Links via API

If users have api.access permission, they will be able to create links via dgLnk API.

API Endpoint

Requests should be sent to /api/links/create endpoint via POST request and include user api_token. For example:

https://app.dglnk.me/api/links/create?api_token=s45s45sd4AADWLLKFfkl4545asNote:Unique API token will be automatically generated for each user and it can be found in user account settings page, under password panel.

Request Parameters

A number of parameters can be used when creating links. All parameters except long_url or multiple_urls are optional. Parameters should be sent as POST request body in JSON format.

Name	Type	Description
alias	string	Custom ID for link, if empty, random string will be generated.
long_url	string	Destination url.
multiple_urls	array	Array of multiple urls. Separate link will be created for each one. Can’t be used together with long_url parameter.
domain_id	number	ID of custom domain that should be attached to this link.
password	string	Password for the link.
disabled	boolean	Whether link should be active or not.
title	string	Short title for link. If empty, title of destination url will be used.
description	string	Short description for link. If empty, meta description of destination url will be used.
tags	array	Array of tags that should be attached to this link.

rules	array	Array of country and device rules. Format example: {key: “ru”, value: “https://destination.ru”, type: “geo”}, {key: “phone”, value: “https://bing.com”, type: “device”}

Response

Successful response structure will look like this. If multiple_urls parameter is used, response will contain links property instead, with array of all created links in the same format as single link.

{
  "status": "success",
  "link": {
    "type": "direct",
    "title": "Google",
    "description": "Description",
    "hash": "oV5Ox",
    "long_url": "https://google.com",
    "expires_at": null,
    "disabled": false,
    "user_id": 1,
    "domain_id": null,
    "alias": null,
    "has_password": false,
    "updated_at": "2019-08-21 13:33:17",
    "created_at": "2019-08-21 13:33:17",
    "id": 80,
    "short_url": "https://sml.life/oV5Ox"
  }
}

If there were any errors when creating a link, Error response with below format will be returned instead:

{
  "status": "error",
  "messages": {
    "long_url": [
      "This url is not valid."
    ]
  }
}

Example with PHP and CURL

<?php

$url = "https://app.dglnlk.me/api/links/create?api_token=s45s45sd4AADWLLKFfkl4545as";

$curl = curl_init();

$params = json_encode([
    'long_url' => 'https://destination.com',
]);

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_URL => $url,
    CURLOPT_POST => true,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $params,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'Content-Length: ' . strlen($params)
    ]
]);
$response = json_decode(curl_exec($curl));
curl_close($curl);

// $response can now be used, see above for how it's formated
