A URL shortener API built for real integrations
Create links, pull click analytics, and manage tags, pixels, and domains from your own code — with scoped keys and rate limits you can actually plan around.
curl -X POST https://api.cut.bd/api/v1/public/links \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sl_live_YOUR_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"destinationUrl": "https://example.com/launch",
"slug": "launch",
"tags": ["product-launch"]
}'Scoped API keys
Grant only what an integration needs — links:read, links:write, analytics:read, domains:write, and 9 other scopes. Keys are shown once; we store only a salted hash.
Predictable rate limits
Per-key limits scale with your plan, from 3 to 360 requests/minute. Every response includes X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset so you can back off cleanly.
Up to 50 keys per account
Issue a separate key per integration — Zapier, your internal dashboard, a CI pipeline — so revoking one never breaks the others.
Consistent JSON errors
Every error follows the same { error: { code, message, details } } shape, with documented codes from VALIDATION_ERROR to TOO_MANY_REQUESTS.
