Overview

To authenticate with Short.io, you need:
  1. API Key — a private API key from your Short.io account.
This guide will show you how to get it.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Short.io account. The API is available on every plan, including Free: sign up.

​
Step 1: Create a private API key

  1. Sign in to Short.io.
  2. In the left sidebar, click Integrations & API, then open the API tab, or go straight to the API key page.
  3. Click Create API key.
  4. Under Key basics, leave Private key selected and enter a Key description. The expiration date is optional. Expired keys are rejected, so leave it empty unless you want the connection to stop working on that date.
  5. Under Access restriction, choose All domains (no restriction), Restrict for team or Restrict for domain.
  6. Click Create.
  7. In the Created key dialog, click Copy to clipboard. The key starts with sk_ and is shown only once, so store it somewhere safe.
Public keys can only create links. Use a private key so your integration can call the rest of the API.

  1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Short.io.
  2. Enter your API Key in the designated field.
