BRANDED SHORT DOMAINS

Short links on a domain your customers know.

Connect a controlled hostname and choose memorable aliases through the same URLMe API.

A custom short domain keeps the visible hostname aligned with your product. Growth and Scale can turn long destinations into links such as go.example.com/welcome while URLMe handles certificates, redirects, limits, and lifecycle controls.

01

Connect without changing your API integration

Add the hostname in the console, publish the displayed DNS records, and wait for verification and certificate activation. API requests continue going to api.urlme.link.

02

Choose a memorable alias

Include the active hostname in the domain field and an optional customCode such as welcome. URLMe validates plan access and domain ownership, then reserves that exact case-sensitive alias for the workspace.

03

Handle conflicts explicitly

Aliases are unique per hostname. If an alias is reserved or already in use, the API returns HTTP 409 and leaves the existing link unchanged. Choose another alias or omit customCode for an automatic code.

04

Keep certificate operations managed

Certificate state and DNS issues remain visible in the console. URLMe serves HTTPS redirects only after the managed hostname is active.

WORKING EXAMPLE

One request from destination to short link.

Replace the environment variable with an active workspace key and run the request from server-side code.

curl --request POST "https://api.urlme.link/v1/links" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $URLME_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"url":"https://example.com/onboarding","domain":"go.example.com","customCode":"welcome"}'
