Step-by-Step Guide to Import TinyURL Links

Step 1: Generate Your TinyURL API Key

To connect TinyURL with Linkkit, you need an API key from your TinyURL account.

  1. Log in to your TinyURL Dashboard.

  2. Navigate to the Account Settings or API Settings section.

  3. Locate the API Key option.

  4. Click Generate API Key (if one is not already available).

  5. Copy and securely store your API key.

This key will be used to authorize and import your links into Linkkit.

Step 2: Log In to Your Linkkit Dashboard

Sign in to your Linkkit account and open your main dashboard.

From the left sidebar menu, navigate to:

Settings → Import

Inside the Import section, select:

Import from TinyURL

This will open the TinyURL migration tool.

Step 3: Connect Your TinyURL Account

On the Import from TinyURL page:

  1. Paste your TinyURL API Key into the designated field.

  2. Click Connect to TinyURL.

Linkkit will securely authenticate your account and retrieve your existing short links for migration.

Step 4: Preview Your TinyURL Links

After successful authentication, Linkkit will display a preview of the links available in your TinyURL account.

This allows you to:

  • Review your existing links

  • Select the links you want to migrate

  • Skip links you don’t want to import

This ensures only relevant links are added to your Linkkit workspace.

Step 5: Import Selected Links

Choose the links you want to migrate and confirm the import.

Linkkit will automatically create the links in your dashboard using the original destination URLs and slugs where possible. Once the process is complete, the imported links will appear in your Links Dashboard, ready for use.

Step 6: Organise Your Imported Links

After importing your TinyURL links, you can enhance them using Linkkit’s advanced features:

  • Assign links to segments for better organisation

  • Add UTM parameters for marketing campaigns

  • Generate QR codes

  • Set expiration dates or click limits

  • Update custom slugs if needed

  • Enable branded domains

This helps you keep your links organised, trackable, and optimised.

Verify Your Imported Links

After migration, it is recommended to review your imported links. You can:

  • Test a few links to confirm they redirect correctly

  • Check analytics data inside the dashboard

  • Update link settings if necessary

Linkkit ensures your links remain functional and ready for tracking after the migration.

Troubleshooting Import Issues

If your TinyURL links do not appear during the import process, try the following:

  • Ensure the API key is valid and active

  • Verify that you copied the correct API key from TinyURL

  • Confirm that your TinyURL account contains existing links

  • Refresh the page and reconnect your account

  • Check for expired or revoked API keys

  • Ensure your TinyURL subscription supports API access
