LinkTrace docs
Links are the core object: slug, host, destination, and controls
A LinkTrace link is more than a redirect record. It carries routing, attribution, analytics, UTM reuse, protection, and pause state.
Link model
A short link is usually identified by slug, and optionally by a custom domain host when the workspace has active domains.
slugidentifies the short path.hostbecomes part of routing for custom-domain links.destinationUrlis the redirect target.- Links can also carry metadata, active state, expiration, password rules, and attribution controls.
Create a link
Server-side API creation is the most explicit integration path.
bash
curl 'https://api.linktrace.cc/api/v1/links' \
-X POST \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer lt_your_secret_key' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"destinationUrl":"https://example.com/pricing",
"slug":"launch",
"trackConversion":true
}'Operational controls
LinkTrace already supports the main short-link control surface from the API and dashboard.
- Pause or reactivate links.
- Set expiration behavior.
- Password-protect destinations.
- Use explicit slugs instead of generated ones.
- Enable conversion tracking on links that should emit attribution ids.
