Authentication

The LinkLane API authenticates with scoped API keys (available on Pro and above).

Create a key

1. Go to Settings → API Keys in the dashboard.
2. Create a key and choose its scopes: links:read, links:write, analytics:read.
3. Copy the key — it's shown once. Keys are prefixed ll_live_.

Use a key

Send it as a Bearer token on every request:

curl https://api.linklane.io/api/links \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ll_live_xxxxxxxx"

Scopes

Scope	Allows
links:read	List and read links
links:write	Create, update, delete links
analytics:read	Read link & account analytics

Security

• Treat keys like passwords — never commit them or expose them client-side.
• Revoke a compromised key anytime from Settings → API Keys.
• Requests are rate-limited per key (100/min). Exceeding returns 429.
