Quickstart

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following before starting:

An API key is like a password that identifies you when your code talks to lyng. Without it, lyng won't know who is making the request and will reject it.

Now you'll send a request to lyng asking it to shorten a URL. Replace lk_your_key in the code below with your actual API key.

curl -X POST https://lyng.my.id/api/v1/links \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer lk_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'

npm install @lyng/sdk

import Lyng from '@lyng/sdk'

const lyng = new Lyng({ apiKey: process.env.LYNG_API_KEY })

const { shortUrl } = await lyng.links.create({
  url: 'https://example.com',
})
console.log(shortUrl) // https://lyng.my.id/abc123

pip install lyng-sdk

from lyng import Lyng

lyng = Lyng(api_key="lk_your_key")

link = lyng.links.create(url="https://example.com")
print(link.short_url)  # https://lyng.my.id/abc123

Copy the code for your preferred language, paste it into your terminal or code editor, replace the key, and run it.

If everything worked, you'll see a response like this printed in your terminal:

{
  "shortUrl": "https://lyng.my.id/abc123",
  "slug": "abc123"
}

What's next

You've made your first API call. Here's where to go from here:
