Getting Clicks for Links per ID

📘 Information below might be outdated - please visit our recently updated API Reference

The instruction below shows how to get the number of clicks for links.

1) Get your API key here: https://app.short.io/settings/integrations/api-key

• Click "Create API key".
• Add a Secret key.

2) Copy an ID of a short link you want to get detailed statistics.

• Open the statistics of the short link.
• Copy the link ID.

3) Install prerequisites for requests.

Python

pip install requests

Node.js

// No additional dependencies required (uses native fetch)

Now everything is ready to run the following snippet. It will send the number of clicks for short URLs.

4) Create a file: filename.py/ .js/ .rb. Use the code snippet below.

📘

Please, replace DOMAIN_ID and IDS with appropriate values.

Python

import requests

url = "https://api-v2.short.io/statistics/domain/domainID/link_clicks"

querystring = {"ids":"293627801, 292673342"}

headers = {
    'accept': "*/*",
    'authorization': "<<apiKey>>"
    }

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

print(response.text)

Node.js

const url = "https://api-v2.short.io/statistics/domain/domainID/link_clicks?ids=293627801%2C%20292673342";
const options = {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    accept: "*/*",
    authorization: "<<apiKey>>"
  }
};

const response = await fetch(url, options);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Ruby

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

url = URI("https://api-v2.short.io/statistics/domain/domainID/link_clicks?ids=293627801%2C%20292673342")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
request["accept"] = '*/*'
request["authorization"] = '<<apiKey>>'

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body

5) Launch the file.

Python

python filename.py

Node.js

node filename.js

Ruby

ruby filename.rb

6) JSON Response.

Once you run the code, you will see the response.
