Rebrandly API Integration
utm.codes uses your API Key to access the Rebrandly API for link shortening.
- Sign in to your Rebrandly account
- Open the account menu by clicking the photo/image near the upper right corner
- Click API Keys
- Select an available API Key or click the "New API Key" button to generate a new key
- Select utm.codes under the WordPress admin Settings menu
- Scroll to the URL Shortener section
- Select
Rebrandlyas your Shortener Service - Enter your API Key and Save Changes
By default rebrand.ly will be available selected for links shortened using Rebrandly. If you've connected your domain to Rebrandly or registered a domain with them you can use that domain for shortening links created with utm.codes.
After completing the steps above to provide your Rebrandly credentials check the checkbox labeled Update Options from Rebrandly.. When this checkbox is checked when saving your utm.codes settings the list of options for your "Short Domain" will be updated with the options available for the Rebrandly account you've entered the API Key for. When the page reloads select the domain you'd like to use and save your changes again, the newly selected Short Domain will be used for short links when creating or edited marketing links with utm.codes.
Note: You only need to check the update checkbox to retrieve new short domain options after making changes to your Rebrandly account. The Short Domain options will be saved by utm.codes to allow you to make change any time you like.
Due to the substantially reduced account limits Rebrandly unit tests are not run by default. To enable them update the testing config.inc.php and change UTMDC_REBRANDLY_DO_TESTS to true to enable the Rebrandly unit tests.
We've put together a script that makes it easy to delete old links to avoid maxing out the number of active links your account allows or having to delete links manually. Download recleanly here.
