linkbreakers

Official Python SDK for the Linkbreakers API.

PyPI version License: MIT

Installation

pip install linkbreakers

Usage

from linkbreakers import Configuration, ApiClient, LinksApi, CreateLinkRequest

# Configure API client with Bearer token authentication
configuration = Configuration(
    access_token='your-api-token',
    host='https://api.linkbreakers.com'
)

# Create API client
with ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    links_api = LinksApi(api_client)

    # Create a shortened link
    response = links_api.links_service_create(
        create_link_request=CreateLinkRequest(
            destination='https://example.com',
            name='My Link'
        )
    )

    print(f'Short link: {response.link.shortlink}')

Authentication

Important: The Linkbreakers API uses Bearer token authentication. The SDK's Configuration class is designed to only accept the access_token parameter:

# ✅ CORRECT - Uses Bearer token authentication
configuration = Configuration(
    access_token='your-workspace-token',
    host='https://api.linkbreakers.com'
)

# ❌ ERROR - Will raise ValueError
configuration = Configuration(
    api_key={'ApiKeyAuth': 'your-token'}  # This will raise an error!
)

The SDK prevents you from accidentally using the wrong authentication method and will raise a clear error message with a link to the help documentation.

Get your workspace API token from the Linkbreakers dashboard.

Identifying Visitors

Use the VisitorsApi to identify and update visitor profiles. The identify method finds or creates a visitor using their LBID (from tracking) and merges attributes:

from linkbreakers import (
    Configuration,
    ApiClient,
    VisitorsApi,
    IdentifyRequest,
    VisitorInput
)

configuration = Configuration(
    access_token='your-api-token',
    host='https://api.linkbreakers.com'
)

with ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    visitors_api = VisitorsApi(api_client)

    # Identify a visitor using their LBID (from tracking cookie/parameter)
    response = visitors_api.visitors_service_identify(
        identify_request=IdentifyRequest(
            lbid='visitor-lbid-from-tracking',  # Base64 encoded event ID from click/scan
            visitor=VisitorInput(
                data={
                    # System fields (prefixed with "$")
                    '$email': 'user@example.com',
                    '$phone': '+1234567890',
                    '$firstName': 'John',
                    '$lastName': 'Doe',

                    # Custom attributes (no "$" prefix)
                    'company': 'Acme Corp',
                    'plan': 'premium',
                    'signupDate': '2024-01-01'
                }
            ),
            set_once=False  # If True, only sets empty fields (won't overwrite existing)
        )
    )

    print(f'Created new profile: {response.created}')
    print(f'Visitor: {response.visitor}')

Update an existing visitor by UUID:

from linkbreakers import VisitorsServiceUpdateBody, VisitorInput

with ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    visitors_api = VisitorsApi(api_client)

    # When you have the visitor's UUID (from your database)
    visitor = visitors_api.visitors_service_update(
        id='visitor-uuid',
        visitors_service_update_body=VisitorsServiceUpdateBody(
            visitor=VisitorInput(
                data={
                    '$email': 'updated@example.com',
                    'plan': 'enterprise'
                }
            )
        )
    )

Get visitor details:

with ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    visitors_api = VisitorsApi(api_client)

    visitor = visitors_api.visitors_service_get(
        id='visitor-uuid',
        include=['devices', 'events', 'links']  # Optional: include related data
    )

List visitors:

with ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    visitors_api = VisitorsApi(api_client)

    visitors = visitors_api.visitors_service_list(
        page_size=50,
        email='user@example.com',  # Optional filters
        link_id='link-uuid',
        search='Acme Corp'
    )

Full API Support

The SDK provides type-safe methods for all API operations. Method names follow the API's operation IDs (links_service_create, links_service_list, visitors_service_identify, ...), and request bodies are passed as the keyword named after their model (create_link_request, links_service_update_body, ...):

from linkbreakers import Configuration, ApiClient, LinksApi, LinksServiceUpdateBody

configuration = Configuration(
    access_token='your-api-token',
    host='https://api.linkbreakers.com'
)

with ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    links_api = LinksApi(api_client)

    # Get a link by ID
    link = links_api.links_service_get(id='link-id').link

    # Update a link
    updated = links_api.links_service_update(
        id='link-id',
        links_service_update_body=LinksServiceUpdateBody(
            name='Updated Name'
        )
    )

    # Delete a link
    links_api.links_service_delete(id='link-id')

    # List links with filtering
    links = links_api.links_service_list(
        page_size=50,
        search='my-search',
        tags=['tag1', 'tag2']
    )
