Riferimento API REST

Autenticación

La API URLW usa claves API para la autenticación. Cada solicitud debe incluir su clave en el encabezado Authorization.

Comment obtenir une clé API

1. Connectez-vous à votre compte URLW et accédez à la page Clés API
2. Donnez un nom à votre clé et cliquez sur Créer
3. Copiez la clé affichée — elle ne sera plus visible ensuite

Ejemplos PHP y JavaScript

No necesita ningún SDK: la API es una simple API REST JSON. Aquí encontrará ejemplos listos para copiar en los lenguajes más habituales.

PHP

<?php
// URLW API — PHP example (no SDK needed)
$apiKey = 'uw_votre_cle_api';
$url    = 'https://example.com/une-url-tres-longue';

$ch = curl_init('https://urlw.fr/api/links');
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_POST           => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER     => [
        'Authorization: Bearer ' . $apiKey,
        'Content-Type: application/json',
    ],
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode(['url' => $url]),
]);

$response = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
curl_close($ch);

echo $response['shortUrl'];
// => https://urlw.fr/aB3xYz

JavaScript (Node.js / fetch)

const API_KEY = 'uw_votre_cle_api';

const res = await fetch('https://urlw.fr/api/links', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://example.com/une-url-tres-longue' }),
});

const link = await res.json();
console.log(link.shortUrl);
// => https://urlw.fr/aB3xYz

Enlace con slug personalizado (Pro+)

curl -s -X POST https://urlw.fr/api/links \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer uw_votre_cle_api" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com/promo","customSlug":"ma-promo"}'

{
  "id": 43,
  "short": "rT9kWm",
  "customSlug": "ma-promo",
  "shortUrl": "https://urlw.fr/ma-promo",
  "url": "https://example.com/promo",
  "clickCount": 0,
  "createdAt": "2026-04-25T14:00:00+00:00"
}

Los slugs personalizados requieren un plan Pro o superior. De 3 a 60 caracteres, letras, números y guiones.
