Link analytics

Know what happened to every link you shared.

Clicks and QR scans by day, country, referrer, device, OS and browser, for one link or your whole account, with bots and link previews left out of the count. 30 days of history on a free account, a year on Pro.

What you get

Link analytics

  • By day, place and device

    A daily chart, the countries, the referring sites, device, operating system and browser, per link and across the account.

  • Scans apart from clicks

    A visit from the printed code and a visit from a message are counted apart, so you know which one worked.

  • People, not robots

    Crawlers, link previews in chat apps and prefetches are dropped before they are counted. The number is people who opened the link.

  • Nothing personal kept

    A click records the day, the country and the kind of device. No IP address and no browser string is stored, so there is nothing to leak.

  • Hour of the day and exports

    Pro adds the hour each click came in and CSV exports of every click, per link or for the whole account.

  • Pushed to you

    A weekly summary by email if you want one, and signed webhooks that send clicks and link events to your own endpoint.

How it works

Three steps, no setup.

  1. 01

    Share a link or a code made in an account. Every visit is counted from the first one, without any setup.

  2. 02

    Open the link in your dashboard for its daily chart, countries, referrers and devices, or the analytics page for all your links at once.

  3. 03

    Take the numbers with you by API, by webhook, in a weekly email, or as a CSV of every click for your own reports.

From the API
# One link's numbers: by day, country, referrer, device
curl https://snip.link/v1/links/<code>/stats \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"

# The whole account, with the busiest links
curl https://snip.link/v1/stats -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"

# Every click as CSV
curl "https://snip.link/v1/links/<code>/clicks?format=csv" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"

The same from the REST API and the MCP server, inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code.

Questions

About link analytics.

Start free

Is analytics free?

Yes, with a free account: 30 days of clicks and scans by day, country, referrer, device, OS and browser. Pro ($4 a month) keeps a year, adds the hour of the day and exports every click as CSV.

Does a link preview in Slack or iMessage count as a click?

No. Previews, crawlers, HEAD requests and prefetches are recognised and left out. Only a person opening the link is counted.

What exactly is stored about a visitor?

The day and time, the country, the kind of device, operating system and browser, the referring site and whether the visit came from the QR code. Never an IP address, a name or anything that identifies a person.

Can I see all my links together?

Yes. The analytics page shows the whole account: the daily total, the busiest links, highlights, countries, referrers and devices, with the same filters as a single link.

Can I get the data out?

From the API on every plan (per-link and account stats as JSON), as a CSV of every click on Pro, as signed webhooks to your own endpoint, and as a weekly summary email you can switch on.

Do codes I made without an account have analytics?

No. Links made without an account redirect but keep no history. Sign up and claim them to start counting from then on.
