Snip

Permanently deletes one of the user's Snip.link links and its click history; its current and previous short URLs stop working within a minute and its current and previous endings remain reserved indefinitely, including for the same account. There is no automatic release, restore or reuse operation. Needs the user signed in to Snip.link. Confirm with the user first; to pause every ending instead, use update_link with disabled true.

Put a file on the web and get a short snip.link link to it, free. Send text (a note, Markdown, CSV, JSON, code) as content, or any other file (a PDF, a picture, a document) as content_base64, with its file name. The link opens a page that shows the file with a download button and a QR code; the link with the file's extension is the file itself, and file.formats lists its available conversion URLs. Supported pairs, MIME types and fidelity notes are at https://snip.link/convert/formats.json; outputs depend on the file and engine limits. A pending conversion returns 202 with Retry-After. Files are at most 10 MB through this tool; use the REST API for larger files. Use this when the user wants to share, send, publish, host or link to a file, or wants something you wrote available as a link or a QR code. Files shared without an account stay up for 30 days unless the user keeps them with a free account.

Clicks and QR scans across every link in the user's Snip.link account: totals, by day, the busiest links, and the top countries, referring sites and devices. Needs the user signed in to Snip.link. Use this for questions like "how are my links doing" or "which link got the most scans this week".

Clicks and QR scans for one of the user's own Snip.link links: totals, by day, by hour of the day on plans with time-of-day analytics, and the top countries, referring sites and devices. Needs the user signed in to Snip.link (the account endpoint or an API key). Pass the short link, its ending or its id. For every link at once, use get_account_stats.

The user's Snip.link collections: links grouped by hand, each with how many links it holds and its public page (snip.link/c/, one button per live link) when that is on. Needs the user signed in to Snip.link. Change one with save_collection.

The user's own domains (go.yourbrand.com), their state, CNAME target and account-specific TXT ownership proof. Pass a live one as domain to shorten_link. New connections need both DNS records; an old CNAME alone does not prove control. Needs the user signed in to Snip.link; add domains in the dashboard or POST /v1/domains.

The user's Snip.link links, newest first, with their destinations and click counts. Needs the user signed in to Snip.link. Pass a search to match an ending, a destination or a title. To continue, pass the answer's next_cursor as cursor with the same search.

Make a static QR code for a link, text, Wi-Fi network, contact card, email, phone number or SMS, free and with no account. Returns a PNG and an SVG download link that the user can open, save or print; show the PNG link to the user. Static codes hold the content in the pattern, so they never expire and keep working without Snip.link. Use this whenever the user asks for a QR code.

Creates a collection of the user's Snip.link links, or changes one (pass collection, its id from list_collections): its name, the line under it, its links in order, and whether it has a public page at snip.link/c/ that shows one button per live link, link-in-bio style. links replaces the collection's links in that order; leave it out to keep them. Free on every plan; the links themselves never change. Needs the user signed in to Snip.link.

Read a public web page as clean Markdown and save a copy, subject to retention and access settings. Returns the page's text, a short link, QR code and saved-format URLs (.md, .txt, .jpg, .pdf, .mhtml). Successful public copies also return archive_url for the exact version and cite with APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago and BibTeX citations preserving the original source. Those fields are null until a public copy is available. Saving a page does not verify its claims. No account is required. A page saved in the last day may be reused; pass fresh for a new capture.

Turn a long web address into a short snip.link link, free, and get a QR code for it. Use this when the user wants a short link, a link they can change after printing, click and scan counts, or a YouTube, Spotify or Amazon link that opens the app when tapped inside Instagram, TikTok or Facebook (every Snip.link link does that on its own). When the user is not signed in to Snip.link the link works at once and the answer includes a claim link the user can open to keep it in a free Snip.link account and see its clicks. When they are signed in (the account endpoint or an API key) the link is saved to their account, and a custom ending (go.snip.link/your-ending) is allowed.

Changes the ending, destination, title, rules, schedule (go-live time, expiry, click limit) or link preview (the title, line and picture chat apps and social sites show when the link is pasted) of one of the user's Snip.link links, switches it off and on, or watches its page for changes. Custom endings and renaming are free with an account. Previous short URLs and printed QR codes keep working, follow the latest destination and share the same analytics until the link is disabled or deleted. A link keeps up to 20 previous endings. Needs the user signed in to Snip.link. Pass only the fields to change.
