Why teams use the Blinkode API
Built for developers
Use REST endpoints documented with clear examples and token-based authentication.
Scales with you
Start with a few requests and scale up as your app grows — rate limits and usage tiers are transparent.
Where this page fits best
Internal campaign tooling
Generate controlled link sets for launches, ads, internal ops, or customer-facing automations.
Platform workflows
Create short links programmatically when the product experience itself needs managed share URLs.
Developer teams using custom domains
Connect API-driven link creation to existing Blinkode domain and slug workflows where the plan supports them.
How Blinkode positions the API today
01
Use the right Blinkode plan
API access is tied to supported plan entitlements instead of being treated like a universally open public endpoint.
02
Create and manage an API key
Blinkode issues account-scoped API keys and keeps related request activity close to the same account context.
03
Automate the link workflow
Create, read, delete, and request QR output for links that belong to that Blinkode account.
Why this page is careful about API claims
Loose API marketingBlinkode’s real API surface
Promise generic public access without explaining ownership or plan boundaries.
Describe the supported API endpoints, account keys, and plan requirements clearly.
Treat automation like a separate product.
Keep the API tied to the same links, domains, keys, and account context.
List advanced docs, exports, or webhooks before they are available.
Describe only the workflows and endpoints Blinkode supports today.
Important operational notes
Account-scoped API keys
Blinkode API keys are created for the owning account rather than functioning as anonymous global tokens.
Request activity stays visible
The product includes request-log workflows for API usage instead of hiding automation behind a black box.
Custom-domain rules still apply
API-created branded links follow the same Blinkode domain and slug constraints as the rest of the product.
