Shorten any URL into a compact, trackable Affilio.link short URL with affiliate link intelligence.
Affilio automatically classifies the affiliate network (Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Awin, etc.),
deduplicates identical URLs (same URL always returns the same short link), and generates a
branded QR code in the same call.
Use this tool when the user needs to:
- Shorten a URL for sharing on social media, email, or in content
- Create a trackable affiliate link with click analytics
- Generate a QR code for print/digital media alongside the short link
- Get a compact, clean version of a long product or affiliate URL
Returns:
short_url (str): The shortened URL — e.g. https://affilio.link/abc123
qr_url (str): Hosted QR code image URL (PNG, publicly accessible)
qr_image_base64 (str): Base64-encoded PNG QR code — embed as data:image/png;base64,...
classification (str): Detected affiliate platform — e.g. "amazon", "ebay", "unknown"
powered_by (str): Brand tagline
pending (bool): True if the link is queued for async processing
expires_at (str | null): ISO 8601 expiry timestamp, or null for permanent links
already_existed (bool): True if this URL was previously shortened (deduplicated)
