Create, update and analyse links programmatically at 50 req/s.
What it does
Create, update and analyse links programmatically at 50 req/s. It works from the dashboard, the REST API, the browser extension and every bulk tool, so whichever way your team creates links, the behaviour is the same.
How to use it
- Create or open a link in the dashboard — press C from anywhere.
- Open the relevant tab in the link editor and set what you need.
- Save. The short URL never changes; only the behaviour behind it does.
Good to know
- Changes take effect immediately for new clicks — no cache to clear.
- Folder defaults can apply this automatically to every new link in a folder.
- Everything here is available through the API and in bulk.

Frequently asked questions
What does REST API do?
Create, update and analyse links programmatically at 50 req/s. It is part of ShortFreeURL and works the same way from the dashboard, the REST API, the browser extension and the bulk tools.
Do I have to recreate my links to use it?
No. It changes what happens behind a short link you already have. The short URL itself never changes, so anything already printed, posted or scheduled keeps working.
How long does a change take to apply?
Immediately, for every click after you save. There is no cache to clear and no propagation delay on our side.
Can I apply it to many links at once?
Yes. It is available through the REST API and the bulk tools, and folder defaults can apply it automatically to every new link created in a folder.
Is REST API included in my plan?
The pricing page lists every capability against every plan, including this one, and the plan comparison inside your workspace shows what your current plan enables.
