About lnk-me.com

Most people shorten a few links a year. Making you pick a password for that is a waste of your time. Instead, every link gets its own private page, and if you want a backup you can add your email to it.

Links that live forever for free pile up, break, and get picked up by spammers. Giving each one 30 days keeps the site cheap to run. If a link matters to you, $10 a year keeps it going, and that money pays for the server.

Every time someone opens your link counts as a click, even if it's the same person twice. Unique visitors are counted once a day, so someone who comes back tomorrow counts again.

When a link is pasted into Slack, iMessage or a social site, their robots open it to build the preview. Those show up as bots, so they don't inflate your real numbers.

Locations come from the visitor's internet connection. They're usually right about the country and often about the city. People on a VPN or some mobile networks may show up somewhere else, or as unknown.

Yes. Send a POST with JSON and you get back the short link, its manage page and the date it runs out. The same limits apply as on the form.

curl -X POST https://lnk-me.com/api/v1/shorten \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/spring-sale", "alias": "spring"}'
