Filtering Links in descending order

Returns link paths, ordered by popularity (descending)

📘

Information below might be outdated - please visit our recently updated API Reference

The instruction below shows how to filter short links.

1) Get your API key here: https://app.short.io/settings/integrations/api-key

  • Click "Create API key".
  • Add a Secret key.

2) Copy an ID of a domain you want to filter links.

  • Open domain settings.
  • Copy the domain ID.

3) Install prerequisites for requests.

pip install requests

npm install --save axios

npm install qs

Now everything is ready to run the following snippet. It will return the most popular short links.

4) Create a file: filename.py/ .js/ .rb. Use the code snippet below.

📘

Please, replace domainID and Period with appropriate values.

👍

Available periods: today, yesterday, total, week, month, lastmonth, last7, last30 and custom.

import requests

url = "https://api-v2.short.io/statistics/domain/domainID/paths"

querystring = {"period":"total","tzOffset":"0"}

headers = {
    'accept': "*/*",
    'authorization': "<<apiKey>>"
    }

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

print(response.text)

const qs = require('qs')
const axios = require('axios');

axios.get('https://api-v2.short.io/statistics/domain/domainID/paths', {
    params: {
        period: 'total', 
        tzOffset: '0'
},
headers: {
    accept:'*/*',
    authorization: '<<apiKey>>'
}
})
.then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
})
.catch(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

url = URI("https://api-v2.short.io/statistics/domain/domainID/paths?period=total&tzOffset=0")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
request["accept"] = '*/*'
request["authorization"] = '<<apiKey>>'

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body

5) Launch the file.

python filename.py

node filename.js

ruby filename.rb

6) JSON Response.

Once you run the code, you will see the response.

7) How to request filtering for a custom period

🚧

startDate and endDate parameters require date format in milliseconds from epoch.
Here you can convert your date: https://www.epochconverter.com/

pip install arrow

import requests
import arrow

url = "https://api-v2.short.cm/statistics/domain/domainID/paths"

querystring = {"period":"custom","tzOffset":"0", "startDate": arrow.get('2020-05-01T21:23:58.970460+07:00').timestamp * 1000,"endDate": arrow.get('2020-05-04T21:23:58.970460+07:00').timestamp * 1000}

headers = {
    'accept': "*/*",
    'authorization': "<<apiKey>>"
    }

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

print(response.text)

const qs = require('qs')
const axios = require('axios');

axios.get('https://api-v2.short.cm/statistics/domain/domainID/paths', {
    params: {
        period: 'custom', 
        tzOffset: '0',
        startDate: new Date("2020-05-01T15:56:53").valueOf(), 
        endDate: new Date("2020-05-03T15:56:53").valueOf()
},
headers: {
    accept:'*/*',
    authorization: '<<apiKey>>'
}
})
.then(function (response) {
  console.log(response.data);
})
.catch(function (response) {
  console.log(response);
});

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'openssl'

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)
request["accept"] = '*/*'
request["authorization"] = '<<apiKey>>'

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body
