Introduction to the Linkbreakers API

The Linkbreakers API provides developers with powerful tools to integrate QR code functionalities and analytics into their applications. This guide will walk you through the process of connecting to the API and utilizing its features.

Getting Workspace Tokens

To start using the Linkbreakers API, you need to obtain your workspace tokens. These tokens can be generated from the Linkbreakers Dashboard. Ensure you keep these tokens secure as they provide access to your workspace's API capabilities.

Using Orval for OpenAPI Schema Integration

Orval is a tool that helps integrate OpenAPI schemas into your projects. By using Orval, you can generate client SDKs that are strongly typed, ensuring better code quality and easier maintenance.

SDK Generation and Strong Typing Benefits

Generating SDKs from OpenAPI schemas provides strong typing, which reduces runtime errors and improves developer productivity. This is particularly beneficial in TypeScript environments.

Platform Compatibility
