Code Examples
Create a Link (JavaScript)
const response = await fetch('https://api.sahiurl.com/v1/links', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
url: 'https://example.com',
custom_code: 'my-link',
domain: 'yourbrand.com'
})
});
const link = await response.json();
console.log(link.short_url);Webhook Handler (Python)
from flask import Flask, request
import hmac
import hashlib
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
def handle_webhook():
signature = request.headers.get('X-SahiURL-Signature')
payload = request.get_data()
# Verify webhook signature
expected = hmac.new(
WEBHOOK_SECRET.encode(),
payload,
hashlib.sha256
).hexdigest()
if hmac.compare_digest(signature, expected):
data = request.get_json()
# Process webhook event
process_link_event(data)
return 'OK', 200
return 'Unauthorized', 401Getting Started with the API
