API Credentials for Short.io

Guide to obtaining tokens, keys, and connections.

To use the Short.io API you need two pieces of information: the “Domain” that identifies your domain in Short.io and the secret “API Key” that enables your calls. Below we explain how to obtain both.

API Key

  1. 1

    In the Short.io Dashboard, open the “Integrations & API” section.

  2. 2

    Click on “Create API key.”

  3. 3

    Disable the “Public key” option so that it becomes a secret key, then click “Create.”

  4. 4

    Copy the key that appears (store it in a safe place; you will not be able to retrieve it later).

Domain

  1. 1

    Specify your Short.io domain, which looks like “xxxx.short.gy,” where “xxxx” is your unique identifier.
