Quickstart & Platform Architecture

TLink is a privacy-first URL shortening and edge link intelligence engine. It is designed to replace costly, tracking-heavy legacy shorteners with sub-100ms temporary redirects, 50/50 A/B split testing, automated broken-link pings, and lossless vector QR codes.

Edge Routing & HTTP 307 Integrity

Every short link is resolved using standard-compliant HTTP 307 Temporary Redirects.

• Method Preservation: Unlike HTTP 302, which mutates POST bodies into GET requests, HTTP 307 guarantees that webhook payloads and form data pass through untampered.
• Zero Stale Cache Bugs: Unlike HTTP 301, which browsers cache permanently, HTTP 307 ensures visitors re-query the edge network, allowing destination URL edits to take effect globally in seconds.
• SEO Equity Transfer: Search engine crawlers (Googlebot) do not index the short code as the canonical authority, passing ranking signals directly to your destination website.

50/50 A/B Traffic Splitting

Distribute incoming visitors across two landing page targets from a single short link. Our edge router uses stateless round-robin distribution to allocate traffic 50/50 without writing third-party tracking cookies.

Link Autopilot Lite & 1-Click Undo

Autopilot periodically sends lightweight HEAD/GET requests to your destination URLs. If a target responds with HTTP 404, 500, or a connection timeout, the link is flagged in your dashboard.

Every modification to a destination URL archives an automatic snapshot. You can inspect previous versions and restore any historical target with a single click.

Lossless Vector QR Studio

Export vector SVG files with shape-rendering="crispEdges" and high-resolution PNGs up to 2000x2000 pixels.

• Level L (7%): High-density digital screens.
• Level M (15%): Standard flyers and desktop websites.
• Level Q (25%): Recommended for retail packaging, restaurant menus, and print.
• Level H (30%): Outdoor signage and industrial environments.

Developer REST API Reference

All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Generate your token in Dashboard Settings.
