Introduction
Nayalink turns long URLs into short links you can create from the dashboard or the REST API — with fast redirects and click analytics.
Nayalink is a URL shortener built for developers. Create short links, redirect visitors fast, and measure every click — from a dashboard or directly through the REST API.
What you can do
- Custom aliases: pick a readable slug (
/summer-sale) or let Nayalink generate a unique code. - Click analytics: track clicks, referrers, devices, and geography without storing any IP address.
- Fast redirects: every link resolves from Nayalink's own European infrastructure, with an in-memory cache in front — a cached hit never touches the database.
- REST API: create, update, and read links programmatically, with scoped API tokens.
- Expiration & routing: set an expiry date or route visitors by country, device, or language.
- Password protection: lock a link behind a password when only the right people should follow it.
Create your first link
- Open Links → New link and paste your destination URL.
- Optionally set a custom alias, an expiry date, or a password.
- Share the short link — clicks start showing up in Analytics right away.
