No credit card
UTM-ready
QR included

Agency-ready operations
Keep link naming, client handoffs, and performance review consistent across campaigns.
From campaign setup to weekly review.
Use ShortIQ as the shared place where marketers build links, standardize UTMs, and explain what happened without spreadsheet cleanup.

A better fit than basic shorteners when campaigns scale.
Basic shorteners are fine for one-off links. ShortIQ is built for teams that need consistent campaign data and repeatable reporting.
| Capability | ShortIQ | Basic shortener |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign structure | UTM workflow built in | Usually manual |
| Analytics context | Country, device, browser, referrer | Mostly click count |
| QR workflow | Connected to tracked links | Often separate |
| Team fit | SaaS and agency operations | Individual sharing |
Free tools that feed the same workflow.
Use public tools for quick jobs, then move serious campaigns into ShortIQ tracking.

Generate a secure key
Create and revoke keys from Dashboard → API Keys. The sk_live_ secret is shown once and only its secure hash is stored. Keep it in your server environment, never in browser code.
2
Create links through v1
Call POST /api/v1/short-urls with a valid destination. Optionally provide a custom alias and country-specific destination rules. Successful creations consume plan quota.
3
Handle clear responses
Use the returned shortUrl immediately. Standard errors identify invalid keys, plan restrictions, duplicate aliases, validation failures, and rate or quota limits.
