For Agents
Programmatically create a short link, list all shortened links. Covers 6 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to a short link, I want to all shortened links, Search for link details, Find all a short link
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for hr and recruiting only.
Simple and efficient short link creation. Shrtlnk provides a straightforward API for creating and managing shortened URLs. The API exposes 6 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Shrtlnk API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Shrtlnk API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fshrtlnk.dev%2Fshrtlnk-dev" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fshrtlnk.dev%2Fshrtlnk-dev" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Shrtlnk API.
Create a short link
List all shortened links
Get link details
Delete a short link
Monitor Shrtlnk API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Shrtlnk API for, with concrete tasks.
★ HR and Recruiting Operations
Use the Shrtlnk API to perform hr recruiting operations programmatically. The API provides 6 endpoints covering core functionality including create a short link, list all shortened links, get link details.
Call POST /links to create a short link
Automated Links Management
Automate links operations by combining multiple Shrtlnk API endpoints. Agents can list all shortened links and then get link details in a single workflow.
Call GET /links to list all shortened links, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Shrtlnk API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'create a short link', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Shrtlnk by hand means reading its api-key header auth, pointing calls at https://shrtlnk.dev/api/v2, and handling link listing and stats yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Shrtlnk from the API Directory, store the api-key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Shrtlnk puts the link key in the URL path (/links/{key}), so a rule can pin your agent to one link: it can read that link and its stats and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a link are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Shrtlnk api-key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a short link' or 'get link stats', and Jentic returns the matching Shrtlnk operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Shrtlnk API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Shrtlnk API use?
The Shrtlnk API uses an API key passed in the `api-key` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I create a short link with the Shrtlnk API?
Yes. Use the POST /links endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Shrtlnk API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I create a short link through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create a short link'. Jentic returns the matching Shrtlnk API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Shrtlnk API have?
The Shrtlnk API exposes 6 endpoints covering links, account operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Shrtlnk API?
Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted by you, so your own rules decide which Shrtlnk operations and credentials your agent may use. Because Shrtlnk puts the link key in the URL path (/links/{key}), a rule can pin the agent to a single link so it only reads that link and its click stats via GET /links/{key} and GET /links/{key}/stats and nothing else. You choose which operations are callable, so destructive ones like DELETE /links/{key} or creating new links with POST /links are excluded unless you add them.
