awsysco 1.1.0

Official Python SDK for the AWSYS.CO URL Shortener API

awsysco — Official Python SDK

The official Python SDK for the AWSYS.CO URL Shortener API.

Installation

pip install awsysco

Requires Python 3.9+.

Quick Start

from awsysco import Client

client = Client(api_key="awsys_your_key_here")

# Shorten a URL
link = client.links.create("https://example.com/very/long/path")
print(link.short_url)  # https://awsys.co/abc123

# Get analytics
stats = client.analytics.get_stats(link.short_code)
print(f"Total clicks: {stats.total_clicks}")

# Build a QR code URL
qr_url = client.qr.get_url(link.short_code, size=400)
print(qr_url)

Authentication

Generate an API key from your AWSYS dashboard. All API keys begin with awsys_.

client = Client(api_key="awsys_...")

Store keys in environment variables — never hardcode them:

import os
from awsysco import Client

client = Client(api_key=os.environ["AWSYS_API_KEY"])

API Reference

Links

Method	Description
client.links.create(url, *, custom_slug, expires_at, max_clicks)	Create a shortened link
client.links.list(*, limit=20, offset=0)	List links (paginated)
client.links.get(short_path)	Get a single link
client.links.update(short_path, *, expires_at, max_clicks)	Update link settings
client.links.delete(short_path)	Delete a link

# Create with options
link = client.links.create(
    "https://example.com",
    custom_slug="my-link",
    expires_at="2025-12-31T23:59:59Z",
    max_clicks=1000,
)

# Paginate
page1 = client.links.list(limit=20, offset=0)
page2 = client.links.list(limit=20, offset=20)

# Update
updated = client.links.update("my-link", max_clicks=500)

# Delete
client.links.delete("my-link")

Analytics

Method	Description
client.analytics.get_stats(short_path)	Get click stats for a link

stats = client.analytics.get_stats("abc123")
print(stats.total_clicks)
for click in stats.clicks:
    print(click.country, click.device, click.timestamp)

QR Codes

Method	Description
client.qr.get_url(short_code, *, size=300, color='000000', bg_color='FFFFFF')	Build QR image URL

No HTTP request is made — this method constructs and returns the URL string.

url = client.qr.get_url("abc123", size=400, color="FF5733", bg_color="FFFFFF")
# https://awsys.co/api/qr/abc123?size=400&color=FF5733&bgColor=FFFFFF

Folders

Method	Description
client.folders.list()	List all folders
client.folders.create(name, *, color)	Create a folder
client.folders.delete(folder_id)	Delete a folder
client.folders.assign_link(short_path, folder_id)	Assign a link to a folder
client.folders.remove_link(short_path)	Remove a link from its folder

folder = client.folders.create("Q1 Campaign", color="#FF5733")
client.folders.assign_link("abc123", folder.id)

folders = client.folders.list()
for f in folders.folders:
    print(f.name, f.link_count)

client.folders.remove_link("abc123")
client.folders.delete(folder.id)

Bulk Create

Method	Description
client.bulk.create(urls)	Create multiple links in one request

result = client.bulk.create([
    {"url": "https://example.com/page-1"},
    {"url": "https://example.com/page-2", "custom_slug": "page-two"},
    {"url": "https://example.com/page-3", "max_clicks": 100},
])
print(f"Created: {result.created}, Failed: {result.failed}")
for r in result.results:
    print(r.short_url, r.success)

Me

Method	Description
client.me.get()	Get the authenticated user's profile

me = client.me.get()
print(me.email, me.subscription_tier, me.is_premium)

Error Handling

All errors inherit from AwsysError.

from awsysco import (
    Client,
    AwsysError,
    AwsysAuthError,
    AwsysForbiddenError,
    AwsysNotFoundError,
    AwsysConflictError,
    AwsysValidationError,
    AwsysRateLimitError,
)

try:
    link = client.links.get("nonexistent")
except AwsysNotFoundError:
    print("Link not found")
except AwsysAuthError:
    print("Invalid API key")
except AwsysConflictError as e:
    print(f"Slug already taken: {e.message}")
except AwsysValidationError as e:
    print(f"Bad request: {e.message} ({e.code})")
except AwsysRateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after {e.retry_after}s")
except AwsysError as e:
    print(f"API error {e.status}: {e.message}")

Exception	HTTP Status	When raised
AwsysValidationError	400	Invalid request parameters
AwsysAuthError	401	Missing or invalid API key
AwsysForbiddenError	403	Insufficient permissions
AwsysNotFoundError	404	Resource does not exist
AwsysConflictError	409	Custom slug already taken
AwsysRateLimitError	429	Too many requests
AwsysError	5xx	Server errors

All exceptions expose .message, .code, .status, and .raw attributes.

Rate Limiting

The SDK automatically retries on 429 Too Many Requests with exponential backoff (up to 3 retries). The Retry-After response header is respected.

from awsysco import AwsysRateLimitError

try:
    link = client.links.create("https://example.com")
except AwsysRateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Still rate limited after retries. Retry after: {e.retry_after}s")

Custom Base URL

# Point at staging
client = Client(
    api_key="awsys_...",
    base_url="https://staging.awsys.co",
)

Context Manager

with Client(api_key="awsys_...") as client:
    link = client.links.create("https://example.com")
    print(link.short_url)
# HTTP connections are closed automatically

Models

All responses are parsed into Pydantic v2 models:

Model	Fields
Link	id, short_url, short_code, long, clicks, created, expires_at, max_clicks, password_protected
LinkList	links, total, has_more
LinkStats	short_code, total_clicks, clicks
ClickEvent	timestamp, country, device, browser, os, referrer
Folder	id, name, color, link_count, created_at
FolderList	folders, limit, used
BulkResult	created, failed, results
BulkLinkResult	success, short_url, long, error
MeResponse	uid, email, subscription_tier, user_prefix, is_premium, features, limits
