Skip to main content
Link Skipper is a link-resolution API. You send it a shortened or ad-gated URL — the kind that makes visitors sit through countdowns and ad walls — and it returns the final destination, resolved server-side in an isolated environment, with no ad walls and nothing installed on the visitor’s device. It only follows the redirect the shortener already defines. It does not change the destination, break paywalls, or alter content.

Quickstart

Make your first resolve in under five minutes.

How it works

Providers, tiers, credits, and sync vs async resolution.

Get an API key

Create a key in the developer dashboard.

API Reference

Every endpoint, request, and response.

​
Base URL

Every request is made over HTTPS to: 
https://api.linkskipper.app

​
How it fits together

1

Create an API key

Generate a key in the developer dashboard and keep it secret — it authenticates every request.
2

Send a link to resolve

Call the resolve endpoint with a supported shortener URL.
3

Get the destination

Cached links return instantly; new links are queued and delivered by polling or a webhook.

​
What you get

Server-side resolution

Links are resolved in an isolated environment. Your users never touch the ad wall.

Multiple providers

A growing catalog of supported shorteners, each with a known tier and cost.

Sync and async

Cached results come back immediately; new ones are queued and resolved in the background.

Webhooks

Get resolved results pushed to your endpoint instead of polling.
Link Skipper is also available as a Telegram bot and on the web. These docs cover the developer API for integrating resolution into your own product.
