API keys & the REST API

Create and manage links from your own scripts or app, instead of clicking through the dashboard.

1

Go to Settings → API keys

Give the key a name that reminds you what it’s for — e.g. CI script — and click Create.

2

Copy the key immediately

The full key is shown exactly once. Copy it somewhere safe now — MicroURL only stores a hash of it, so it can’t be shown to you again later.

3

Use it against the REST API

Full endpoint reference, authentication, and rate limits are documented at /docs.

4

Revoke a key you no longer need

Click Revoke next to any key. Requests using it start failing immediately — this can’t be undone.
