link.fish API
API to easily extract data from websites. # Base URL All URLs referenced in the documentation have the following base: ``` https://api.link.fish ``` The REST API is only served over HTTPS. To ensure data privacy, unencrypted HTTP is not supported. # Authentication HTTP requests to the REST API are protected with HTTP Basic authentication. You will use the email address of your link.fish account as the username and your API access token as the password for HTTP Basic authentication. If you do not have an account yet, go to https://link.fish/api and create one first. You will receive the API access token automatically via email after you signed up. To generate a new token and invalidate the current one log into your link.fish account at https://app.link.fish and go to: "Plugins" -> "API Dashboard" There you can also see how many credits you used already. # Errors The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of the API call. The body of the response will be JSON in the following format: ``` { "status": {HTTP STATUS CODE} "message": "{ERROR MESSAGE}" } ``` Like for example when the authorization is not provided or wrong: ``` { "status": 401 "message": "Una
Plan the first integration safely
The access fields below come from the connected directory. Their likely implementation impact is explained without assuming provider-specific behavior.
Authentication
OAuth is reported. Confirm flows, scopes, consent, token lifetime, and refresh rules.
Transport
HTTPS is not confirmed. Do not send credentials or production data until secure transport is verified.
Browser access
CORS is unknown. Treat direct browser access as unconfirmed and test before choosing a client-only architecture.
First-request sequence
- Identify the current base URL, version, and endpoint for the use case.
- Confirm how credentials are issued and where they may be stored.
- Test success, invalid input, throttling, unavailable data, and timeouts.
- Record response fields, pagination, caching, and error shapes.
- Add monitoring, retries with backoff, and an appropriate fallback.
Questions to resolve before production
Pricing and quotas
Confirm current plans, free-tier limits, overages, and request ceilings.
Endpoint coverage
Check that the operations and response fields match the intended workload.
Reliability
Look for uptime history, a status page, support routes, and service commitments.
Data and privacy
Review retention, licensing, regional processing, and compliance requirements.
Versioning
Confirm the active version, change policy, deprecation window, and migration guidance.
Developer experience
Validate SDKs, examples, error formats, pagination, and test environments.
