Automating Link Creation with the K2V API

When Does the API Make Sense?

If you're creating links manually — a few times a day, just for yourself — the dashboard is perfect. But if you're building links into a product, automating for a large team, or generating thousands of links for a campaign, the API is your friend.

Getting Your API Key

It's straightforward:

1. Go to Dashboard > Developer
2. Click "Generate API Key"
3. Copy it somewhere safe (you won't be able to see it again)

Your First API Call

Creating a link is as simple as a POST request:

POST https://api.k2v.pro/v1/links
{
  "original_url": "https://your-site.com/awesome-page",
  "alias": "my-custom-alias",
  "tags": ["summer", "promo"]
}

What Else Can You Do?

The API covers most things you'd do in the dashboard:

• GET /links — List all your links
• GET /links/:id — Get details on a specific link
• PUT /links/:id — Update a link
• DELETE /links/:id — Delete a link
• GET /links/:id/analytics — Fetch the analytics for a link

Popular Use Cases

We've seen people do some creative stuff:

• Auto-generate links when publishing blog posts
• Create unique links for each subscriber in an email campaign
• Build custom dashboards that pull in K2V data
• Integrate with CRM systems for automatic link generation
