API
Build on Nimble Links
Create, update, and manage links programmatically with a simple REST API.
What it does
The Nimble Links API lets you create, list, and delete links programmatically. If you need to generate links from your own application, a CMS, or a script — instead of manually through the dashboard — the API handles it.
curl -X POST https://nimblelinks.com/api/v1.0/links \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"type": "short-link",
"destination": "https://example.com/landing",
"forward_parameters": true

When this is useful
Generating links from your application
If your product creates shareable content — reports, invoices, landing pages — you can generate a Nimble Links short link for each one automatically, without users leaving your app.
Bulk link creation
Migrating from another platform or setting up hundreds of campaign links at once? Script it with the API instead of creating them one by one in the dashboard.
Pulling analytics into your own tools
Use the clicks endpoints to pull performance data into your own dashboards, reports, or alerting systems.
To get started, create an API token in your team settings and check the API documentation for examples.
