cuttly

cuttly_delete_link

WRITE, IRREVERSIBLE: permanently delete a short link and its statistics. Anyone who opens the short link afterwards gets an error, and Cuttly cannot restore it. Ask the user to confirm the exact link before you call this. Needs the Single plan or higher. The call is sent once and never retried. GET https://cutt.ly/api/api.php?edit=...&delete=1

cuttly_get_link_stats

Click statistics of one short link: total clicks, clicks by source (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, other, bots), top referrers, countries, device types, operating systems, browsers, device brands and languages. The date range filter needs the Team plan or higher. Counts as one API call (Free plan 3 per 60 seconds). GET https://cutt.ly/api/api.php?stats=...

cuttly_set_device_redirect

WRITE: send visitors on one device type to another destination (an app store page or a deep link): Android, iOS or Windows Mobile. platform 'redirect' sets the destination for all other devices. Set `remove: true` instead of a destination to delete the rule. Needs the Single plan or higher. The call is sent once and never retried. GET https://cutt.ly/api/api.php?edit=...&mobile=...

cuttly_set_link_expiration

WRITE: set or remove the expiration of a short link. The link expires after a number of clicks or on a date, and can then redirect to another URL. mode 'none' removes an existing expiration. Needs the Single plan or higher. The call is sent once and never retried. GET https://cutt.ly/api/api.php?edit=...&expire=...

cuttly_shorten_link

WRITE: create a Cuttly short link for a long URL, optionally with a custom alias (the part after the slash). Returns the short link, the full link and the page title. It counts against the monthly link limit of the plan. Cuttly rate limit: Free 3 calls per 60 seconds, Starter 6, Single 60. The call is sent once and never retried. GET https://cutt.ly/api/api.php?short=...

cuttly_update_link

WRITE: change a short link: its alias, destination URL, title, tag or unique-click window. Send only what you want to change. Changing the alias makes the old short link stop working; changing the destination redirects every visitor to the new URL at once. Link editing needs the Single plan or higher. Cuttly sends no previous values back, so ask the user before you change a live link. The call is sent once and never retried. GET https://cutt.ly/api/api.php?edit=...
