Deleting a link
A branded short link can be deleted from your collection and it will suddenly stop redirecting.
In order to delete it, you are supposed to send a DELETE
request to its API URL: https://api.rebrandly.com/v1/links/{id}
, where {id}
is the unique identifier of the branded short link.
If you don't know the link's id in advance, you can fetch it first with another API call, see Getting link details.
