Once you have retrieved your personal “public key” through the /rapidsignup/ endpoint, you’ll be able to shorten your links.

For starters, you only need an URL that you want to shorten, e.g. https://www.rapidapi.com.
If you fire that request without further parameters, you’ll get a shortlink in return, something similar to https://alle.tips/abcd123. You can share this link via Facebook, Twitter, Insta, WhatsApp etc. Every click on this link will be counted and made available for you under “analytics”.

The result will look like this:

Personalize your links

Additionally, you can add certain parameters to personalize you link more:

• choose another domain name (you get the list of available domain name for you plan via the /domains/ endpoint)
• choose a shortlink for yourself - you’ll get an 609 error if it’s already taken or invalid (min. 6 chars, max. 50 chars, no special characters, only A-Z, 0-9, case-sensitive!)
• define a title - so you later still have an idea, what that link refers to
• add a campaign ID (you retrieved from the /campaign/ endpoint) in order to group certain links (think about marketing campaigns, newsletter, POS etc.)
