FAQ

  • Do I need an account to see a link's stats?

    No. Every short link has an open stats page at zip1.io/stats/<code>, and anyone with the code can read it. If the link itself is password-protected, the stats page asks for the same password.

  • Does zip1.io set cookies or run a tracking script?

    No. Clicks are counted server-side while the redirect happens. Nothing is injected into your destination page and no script runs in the visitor's browser.

  • How precise is the location data?

    Country-level only. There is no city, region, or coordinate data.

  • What is the difference between clicks and unique clicks?

    Total clicks counts every redirect. Unique clicks counts distinct IP addresses, so one person reloading a link ten times is ten clicks and one unique click.

  • Can I get the raw numbers out?

    Yes. /export/<code>/<format> returns the click data as CSV, JSON, XLSX, or XML — no account, no export quota.
