What is my API key? And how to use it?
On your account page, you’ll find a long string of characters called an “API key”. The acronym “API” stands for “Application Programming Interface”. An API is like a password for a program to access your account on your behalf.
Where is my API key?
To see your API key, you must first log in.
Once signed in, visit your account page (link is in the top-right corner of the window), where you will find the long chain of characters, which is your key.
What is it for?
Your API key allows programs and websites to interact with your qoiob account remotely, without visiting the website. The same way some applications let you access Twitter and Facebook through their API, for example.
How do I use it?
More and more applications are adding qoiob to their services. When one of them asks you for your email address and API key, you can set up their system to use doiop from it. Never share your actual account password.
But remember to only give your API key to well known services and trustable third parties.
How do I get one?
When you sign up for a qoiob account, you are automatically assigned your personal API key. It is then listed on your account page,
Can I share my API key?
No, it’s like a password to your account.
(Unlike your API key, your real account password should NEVER be shared with anyone.)
How to call my API key from an external service?
We tried to keep our API as simple as possible for users. For example, it’s very easy to set up Tweetdeck to automatically use qoiob as your default shortener. Every information needed is contained in one straight-forward URL.
Whenever a web service or app asks you for a “URL Shortening Endpoint”, you can simply enter the following string, after you replaced “xxx” by your qoiob login email address, “zzz” by your qoiob API key, and “yyy” by the “endpoint” given to you by that service to insert the long URL (for example, “%@” or “%URL%”). Variables are separated by ||
http://qoiob.com/api/shorten/?theKitchenSink=login::xxx||apiKey::zzz||format::txt||longUrl::yyy
or
http://cauzes.com/api/shorten/?theKitchenSink=login::xxx||apiKey::zzz||format::txt||longUrl::yyy
(Note: there should be no space after the ? or anywhere else in the string!)
The simple version above just returns text. Some services require other outputs, usually JSON or XML. If so, you can use the following endpoints:
http://qoiob.com/api/shorten/?theKitchenSink=login::xxx||apiKey::zzz||format::json||longUrl::yyy
http://qoiob.com/api/shorten/?theKitchenSink=login::xxx||apiKey::zzz||format::xml||longUrl::yyy
Can I choose which domain will be used when new shortcuts are created automatically from the API?
Yes, read this post for more details on how to set the endpoint link.

Forgot your password?
Can’t log into your account anymore? No problem: just follow these easy steps and you’ll access your account in no time.
- Go to the qoiob.com homepage (or cauzes.com, if you are coming from there).
- Make sure you are logged out (i.e., “Create an account” is displayed at the top).
- Create a new redirection, using the same email address as your existing account.
- Click the validation link contained in the verification email.
- You’re logged in!
- From your account page, simply click the “reset password” link and create a new one.
Why don’t we simply email your password to you?
Because your password is securely encrypted from the moment you created it, and even if we wanted we wouldn’t be able to decipher it.

How can I create an account?
Creating a short link automatically also creates your account. Then, all you need to do is to validate it and set your password.
Follow these steps to access your account page:
- The email address you enter when you create a new short link becomes your user name. Make sure it is a valid address, and one that you will not forget easily.
- When you receive the verification email, click on the validation link to confirm your short link. If you have not set a password yet, you will be prompted to create one so on that page.
- Enter your password, then verify it by typing it a second time. Your password must contain at least one letter and at least one number, it must also be at least 8 characters long. Choose something not easy to guess.
- If you didn’t set your password this time, don’t worry: you can create one by following the same validation link you found in the verification email. Or you can use the verification email you will receive when you create a new shortcut. Meanwhile, as long as you use the same email address, your shortcuts will wait in your account.

Why do we ask your email address?
Let’s start by making something very clear first:
WE WILL NOT SPAM YOU.
You hate spam. We hate spam too. We hate people who spam, and we won’t become one of them. (And we won’t sell or give your address to spammers either).
We might have to send you some important announcement sometime, but except for such rare emails, all you can expect to receive from us are the normal shortcut validations, and password recovery messages.
The reason why we need your address is so that the system can identify you. As you noticed, you can make a new shortcut without creating an account. That’s because your email address is your username. This way, when you create a shortcut, you automatically become a member. Using your email address prevents duplicates, and ensures you will remember your account name. Simple.
As the service will evolve, we will introduce tracking, settings, and preferences, which you will be able to enjoy from a single access, so we wanted to make sure your shortcuts are already linked to your account from the very beginning.
And last but not least, by asking your email address we also keep away (real) spammers, the ones who abuse the system and ruin it for everyone, so that you can enjoy the service better.
