The VCTR API

Everything you do in the app, from your own code: create Links and QR Codes, change Destinations, render codes and read stats. Plain JSON over HTTPS.

On every plan. 60 requests a minute per key on Free, 600 requests a minute on Pro and Business.

Start in a minute

Create a Workspace API key in the app, then create your first Link:

curl -X POST https://vctr.io/api/v1/links \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VCTR_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "destination": "https://example.com/spring-menu" }'

The answer holds the Link with its shortUrl. Errors always answer { "error": { "code", "message" } } with a stable code, so your integration can handle limits and permissions cleanly.

What you can do

Create, list, update and delete Links, with custom Codes and the full Destination history.
Create QR Codes and download them as SVG, PNG or PDF, with style options in the request.
Read time series and breakdowns by country, device, OS, browser, language, referrer and channel, per Link, QR Code or Workspace.
Keys are editor or viewer, and act on one Workspace only.

Typed clients from the OpenAPI document

The API is described by an OpenAPI 3.1 document at /api/v1/openapi.json, generated from the same route table that serves the API. Feed it to your favourite generator for a typed client. The API reference is built from it too.

Print it once. Keep it forever.

Make your first dynamic QR Code in a minute. Free, no credit card.
