What you get

• Edge-native redirects — short links resolve through Cloudflare's global network.
• Click analytics — counts, geo, referrers, devices, browsers; no third-party script.
• REST API + API keys with scoped permissions.
• Custom slugs, bulk deletion, activation controls, and link expiry.
• Sign in via Elixpo Accounts SSO — no separate password.

How sign-in works

Lixrl doesn't store passwords. Every user signs in through Elixpo Accounts SSO — the same login that opens chat, art, blogs, and the rest of the ecosystem. Hit /api/auth/login to start the OAuth flow; we handle the callback, set the session cookie, and bounce you to your dashboard.

For machine-to-machine access, mint an API key from your dashboard and send it in the Authorization header.
