📊 How Statistics Work
Our statistics system provides real-time analytics for your shortened URLs, giving you valuable insights into link performance and audience engagement.
Data Collection
- Real-time tracking: Every click is recorded instantly with timestamp precision
- Geographic data: Country-level location tracking using IP geolocation
- Referrer information: Track where your clicks are coming from
- User agent data: Browser and device information for better insights
- Privacy-focused: No personally identifiable information is stored
Note: Statistics are available immediately after the first click on your shortened URL. Data is updated in real-time and persists for the lifetime of your link.
📤 Export and Data Access
Access your statistics data programmatically or export for further analysis.
Export Formats
- JSON: Machine-readable format for integration with other tools
- CSV: Spreadsheet-compatible format for manual analysis
- Excel (XLSX): Full-featured format with multiple sheets
API Access
Integrate statistics into your applications using our REST API:
curl -X GET https://zip1.io/api/stats/your-alias
curl -X GET https://zip1.io/api/export/your-alias?format=csv
Pro Tip: Use the API to build custom dashboards or integrate statistics into your existing analytics tools. Perfect for monitoring multiple links or automating reporting workflows.
🔒 Privacy and Security
Data Protection
- No Personal Data: We don't store email addresses, names, or personal information
- IP Anonymization: IP addresses are hashed and not stored in plain text
- GDPR Compliant: Full compliance with European data protection regulations
- Secure Access: Statistics are protected and only accessible by you
Password Protection
For sensitive links, use password protection to restrict both access to the link and its statistics:
{
"url": "https://internal-docs.company.com",
"password": "team-access-2024",
"description": "Internal documentation"
}
Security Note: Password-protected links require the same password to view statistics. This ensures that sensitive link data remains secure.
