- The API accepts tag and refId fields and can filter by exact values. They are automation-oriented fields, not controls in the standard public creation form.
- Signed-in users can list links, search them, open details, edit the destination and name, or delete a link. Changing the destination keeps the same short address.
Measure visits accurately
Posty5 stores the total visitor count and the last-visit date for each short link. The statistics endpoint also reports totals and top links for a selected period.
Posty5 does not store a per-click event history for location, device or referrer reporting. Do not read the aggregate counter as unique visitors or detailed attribution.
Compare the workflows
Posty5 has no verified per-user custom short domain, link expiry, password protection, A/B rotation or bulk import of links. Choose another workflow if one of those is essential.
