543 Links documentation

Short links, analytics, and QR codes.

543 Links turns long URLs into clean 543.lol links. Use it for launches, Discord servers, profiles, campaigns, and private links that need passwords or expiration dates.

Quickstart

Create your first short link in under a minute.

  1. Open the dashboard. Go to 543 Links and press Create link.
  2. Paste a destination URL. Only http:// and https:// destinations are allowed.
  3. Create the link. Free users get a random slug like 543.lol/xkq.
  4. Track clicks. Open Analytics to see clicks by day, country, device, browser, and referrer.

Email sign in

Sign in with an email code to keep links saved across devices. Enter your email, receive a 6-digit code, then verify it in the same window. No Google, GitHub, or extra account setup is required.

Anonymous sessions can create quick links, but email sign in is better for managing links later.

Analytics

Analytics are aggregate only. 543 Links shows daily clicks, top countries, referrers, devices, browsers, and active hours without exposing raw visitor IPs.

QR codes

Every short link can generate an SVG QR code. Use it in posts, cards, events, Discord panels, and printed materials. The QR always points to the short link, so analytics still work.

Password and expiration

Use password links when the destination should not open immediately. Use expiration dates for campaigns, limited drops, temporary files, or event links.

Passwords protect the redirect page. They are not a replacement for private storage or account-level permissions.

API basics

The dashboard uses the same JSON API. API requests are cookie-based, so sign in first from the browser when using protected account actions.
