Short.io lets you create short links in bulk in three ways: Using the Short.io API, by importing a CSV file, or using Google Sheets.
Shorten links in bulk with API
With Short.io API, you can shorten up to 1000 links in one API call. You can create 5 requests per 10 seconds (1 request = 1000 URLs).
It works almost the same as a single link creation endpoint, but it accepts an array of URLs and returns an array of responses back. If any URL fails to be added, it returns an error object as an array element. The method is not transactional. It can insert some links from the list and return an error for others.
Shorten links in bulk with a CSV file
You can import a CSV file with links you want to shorten, or import links from another link shorteners like Bitly or YoURLs.
Shorten links in bulk with Google Sheets
Using a Google Sheets does not require technical skills. When applying this method you paste links manually.
