Getting Started
Authenticate using the Login API to obtain an access token. Include the returned Bearer Token in the Authorization header and provide a unique X-Device-ID with all authenticated requests. All requests must be made over HTTPS and are subject to rate limits.

POST /external/short-url/delete
Use the Delete Short URL API to remove one or more short URLs from your SPRL account.
This endpoint allows authenticated integrations to delete URLs that are no longer required while maintaining account-level access controls and ownership validation.
