Introduction
LinkSnap is a URL shortener built for teams that want short links to behave like first-class product surfaces — with QR codes, tags, custom domains, and click analytics on every link. It's the URL infrastructure half of the Forjio family: the same way Plugipay handles payments and Storlaunch handles storefronts, LinkSnap handles the link itself.
This documentation covers everything: getting started, the portal, the public API, and the SDKs for Node.js, Python, and Go.
New to LinkSnap? Start with the Quickstart — you'll have a working short link and a QR code in under five minutes.
What's here
The docs are organized into the way you'll use the product over time:
- Getting started — sign up, install the SDK or CLI, shorten your first URL, generate your first QR code.
- Core concepts — the model behind short links, QR codes, tags, custom domains, and workspaces.
- Authentication — how sign-in and password resets work. We use Huudis as the identity provider so the flow is shared with every other Forjio product.
- Portal — per-feature tours of what you can do in the dashboard at linksnap.com.
- API reference — the public REST API: authentication, every resource.
- SDKs — per-language guides for

What LinkSnap is good at
- Short links with structure. Every link is tagged, searchable, expirable, and click-limitable. Bulk operations and CSV import/export are first-class.
- QR codes with the same metadata. Generate a QR code for any link (or any URL); track scans the same way you track clicks; download as PNG or SVG.
- Custom domains. Bring your own domain (
go.acme.com) and serve fully branded short links with managed TLS. - Per-link analytics. Time-series, geo, device, referrer. No third-party tracker required.
A note on the Forjio family
LinkSnap is part of the Forjio family — a set of independent SaaS products that share identity (Huudis SSO), billing (Plugipay, for non-Plugipay products), and design conventions. If you've used Storlaunch, Fulkruma, Ripllo, Pawpado, or Catentio, the auth and SDK shapes here will feel familiar.
Each product owns its own bounded context. LinkSnap owns short links, QR codes, custom shortener domains, and click telemetry. It does not own marketing campaigns, product catalogs, or payment flows — those live in their respective Forjio products.
