Programmatic access to links and analytics. Available on Pro and Team plans.

Create API keySystem status

Getting started

Base URL: https://getowl.ai/api/v1

All requests require an API key in the Authorization header. Create keys in Settings → API keys.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://getowl.ai/api/v1/links"

Authentication

Send your secret key as a Bearer token on every request:

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...

Keys are scoped to a workspace. Responses only include data for that workspace.

Links

GET/api/v1/links

List links in the authenticated workspace. Results are paginated and sorted by creation date (newest first).

Query parameters

  • page — zero-based page index (default 0)
  • take — page size, 1–50 (default 20)

Example response

{
  "items": [
    {
      "id": "uuid",
      "shortCode": "abc123",
      "ddbPartitionKey": "abc123",
      "destinationUrl": "https://example.com",
      "title": null,

Link analytics

GET/api/v1/links/{identifier}/analytics

Full analytics for a single link — summary, timeseries, and breakdowns. Identify the link by UUID (from GET /links), exact ddbPartitionKey (URL-encoded), or shortCode when unique in the workspace.

Query parameters

  • from — ISO datetime start of window (optional)
  • to — ISO datetime end of window (optional)
  • granularity — hour or day (default day)

Example response

{
  "link": { "id": "...", "shortCode": "abc123", "destinationUrl": "..." },
  "summary": { "clicks": 1284, "uniqueVisitors": 902 },
  "timeseries": { "points": [{ "time": "2026-06-01", "clicks": 42 }] },
