QRL API

Create links and Smart QR programmatically — from your ERP, billing or app — and get events back through webhooks.

In short

QRL.md exposes a REST API for creating short links and QR codes programmatically and receiving events via webhooks. Example: POST /api/links with {"originalUrl": "...", "isPermanent": true} returns 201 with the short link and code. The Business API plan (599 MDL/month) includes the Link API, QR API, Event API + webhooks and 100,000+ calls/month with transparent overage. API-created links are permanent by default. Operated by Intelectsoft SRL; already used across the ecosystem for invoices, payments, parking and electronic documents.

The canonical example

POST /api/links
{ "originalUrl": "https://example.com", "isPermanent": true }

→ 201 Created
{ "shortUrl": "https://qrl.md/a8Fk2", "code": "a8Fk2" }

API-created links are permanent by default; custom codes are available on Business API. Codes use the alphabet without O, 0, I and l.

What it's used for

Billing — every invoice automatically gets its payment/view QR.
ERP/POS — receipts, documents and loyalty with codes generated at issue time; already in production across the Intelectsoft ecosystem.
Apps — share links and install QRs created from the backend.
Events — Event API + webhooks push every scan into your systems, with conversion tracking.

Access, keys, limits

API keys are scoped, webhooks are HMAC-signed, and each client has its own quotas with per-endpoint rate limiting. Business API includes 100,000 calls/month; beyond that you pay only for what you use: 2 MDL/1,000 (100k–1M), 1.5 MDL (1M–10M), 1 MDL (10M+). Get your key from the cabinet or via the contact form.
