Security is a top priority. We've introduced additional security measures like CAPTCHA and Click Through Preview for your links, complementing our existing password protection. This multi-layered approach ensures your links are safe and accessible only to the intended audience. The implementation of these security measures further improves the overall reliability and trustworthiness of your shortened URL.

While Password protection ensures that only users with the correct password can access the condensed link CAPTCHA verification ensures users interacting with your links are genuine humans. Click Through Preview as a security option, direct user to a link preview page, requiring users to click on a designated button within the preview page to access the target URL, posing a challenge for automated scripts.

By employing these choices, you ensure that your links retain exclusivity, stay immune to spam, and are only accessible to authentic users. Our Security Options Documentation provide detailed information on how to make most of these security features.

y.gy has taken a giant leap forward by introducing an authenticated API, revolutionizing the way users interact with our link management platform. Integrating with our API lets you fully control the creation and fetching of short links.

y.gy has transitioned from the use of access tokens to a more user-friendly and secure API key system. The shift to API keys simplifies the integration process, making it more accessible to users of varying technical expertise.

Users now have the ability to create and manage their API keys directly from the y.gy dashboard. Access tokens on the other hand involve a more complex authentication flow, including token acquisition and renewal.
