url = "https://api.short.io/link_region/link_idString"

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

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

print(response.text)

const axios = require('axios');

axios.get('https://api.short.io/link_region/LINK_ID', {
   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.short.io/link_region/LINK_ID")

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"] = 'application/json'
