Deep Linking API

Creating a Deep Linking URL

Endpoint - Create

Shell

POST /v1/url
Content-Type: application/json

Parameters - Create

Key

Value

Required

branch_key

The Branch key of the originating app; from your Branch Settings Dashboard

YES

data

The dictionary to embed with the link. Accessed as session or install parameters from the SDK. Use the data dictionary for all link control parameters that you'll find here.

Optional

alias

Instead of our standard encoded short url, you can specify the .app.linkxyz.app. alias of the .app.link/devonaustin. .app.linkxyz.app.linkxyz.app. .app. link xyz.app.linkxyz.app.linkxyz.app.linkxyz.app.linkxyz.app. Aliases are enforced to be unique per domain (bnc.lt, app.link, app.link, app.link, app.link, app.link, app.link, app.link, app.link, app.link, app.link, app.link, app.link, yourapp.com, etc). Be careful, link aliases are unique, immutable objects that cannot be deleted.

Max 128 characters

NOTE: If you POST to the this endpoint with the same alias, and a matching set of other POST parameters to an existing aliased link, the original will be returned to you. If it clashes and you don't specify a match, will return a HTTP 409 error.

type

Set type to 1, to make the URL a one-time use URL. It won't deep link after 1 successful deep link.
Set type to 2 to make a Marketing URL. These are URLs that are displayed under the Marketing tab on the dashboard (to also set the marketing title of the link, which shows up in the Marketing tab, set the $marketing_title field in the data dictionary to the value that you would like).
default is set to 0, which is the standard Branch links created via our SDK.git

Optional

duration

In seconds. Only set this key if you want to override the match duration for deep link matching. This is the time that Branch allows a click to remain outstanding and be eligible to be matched with a new app session. This is default set to 7200 (2 hours)

Optional

Branch analytics parameters

It's important to tag your links with an organized structure of analytics labels so that the data appears consistent and readable in the dashboard.

Optional

identity

The identity used to identify the user. If the link is not tied to an identity, there's no need to specify an identity.

Max 127 characters

Optional

Link Update Tips

A link's data object is overwritten entirely by the Link update API, so make sure to include all of the link's data when updating it (not just the data you're changing)

To update links in bulk, combine the Link update and Link read APIs when creating a script. The sample Python script below reads a 2-column CSV file, and updates a key specified in the script for all links listed in column A, with the values in column B:

Python

import requests
import csv
import sys
import urllib
import json

#Insert API key & App Secret from the Branch dashboard, and the Link data key you want to change in each link **
branch_key = "[API_KEY]"
branch_secret = "[APP_SECRET]"
key_to_update = "[DATA_KEY_TO_UPDATE]"

#Insert filename for CSV containing links to update in first column, and values to add in second column **
ifile = open('[INSERT_FILENAME].csv', "rb")

#Constants
branchendpoint = "https://api2.branch.io/v1/url?url="
reader = csv.reader(ifile, delimiter=',')

#Uncomment the next line if you want the script to skip the first line of the CSV
#next(reader)

#Loop through CSV
for row in reader:

#Retrieve link data for link being updated
  url = urllib.quote_plus(row[0])
  getrequest = branchendpoint + url + "&branch_key=" + branch_key
  linkdata = requests.get(getrequest)
  jsonData = json.loads(linkdata.text)

#Set credentials for update API
  jsonData["branch_key"] = branch_key
  jsonData["branch_secret"] = branch_secret

#Update specified data key
  newValue = row[1]
  if key_to_update in jsonData:
    jsonData[key_to_update] = newValue
  if key_to_update in jsonData["data"]:
    jsonData["data"][key_to_update] = newValue

#PUT request to update link
  payload = json.dumps(jsonData)
  putrequest = branchendpoint + url
  r = requests.put(putrequest, json=jsonData)
  print(r.url)
  print(r)
  print
ifile.close()

import requests
import csv
import sys
import urllib
import json

#Insert API key & App Secret from the Branch dashboard, and the Link data key you want to change in each link **
branch_key = "[API_KEY]"
branch_secret = "[APP_SECRET]"
key_to_update = "[DATA_KEY_TO_UPDATE]"

#Insert filename for CSV containing links to update in first column, and values to add in second column **
ifile = open('[INSERT_FILENAME].csv', "rb")

#Constants
branchendpoint = "https://api2.branch.io/v1/url?url="
reader = csv.reader(ifile, delimiter=',')

#Uncomment the next line if you want the script to skip the first line of the CSV
#next(reader)

#Loop through CSV
for row in reader:

  #Retrieve link data for link being updated
  url = urllib.quote_plus(row[0])
  getrequest = branchendpoint + url + "&branch_key=" + branch_key
  linkdata = requests.get(getrequest)
  jsonData = json.loads(linkdata.text)

  #Set credentials for update API
  jsonData["branch_key"] = branch_key
  jsonData["branch_secret"] = branch_secret

  #Update specified data key
  newValue = row[1]
  if key_to_update in jsonData:
    jsonData[key_to_update] = newValue
  if key_to_update in jsonData["data"]:
    jsonData["data"][key_to_update] = newValue

  #PUT request to update link
  payload = json.dumps(jsonData)
  putrequest = branchendpoint + url
  r = requests.put(putrequest, json=jsonData)
  print(r.url)
  print(r)
  print
ifile.close()

Restrictions

There are certain restrictions when attempting to update links:

Not all links are updateable, namely links with the structure of bnc.lt/c/ or bnc.lt/d/
The alias of a link cannot be updated, e.g. 'https://bnc.lt/test' -> 'https://bnc.lt/test1'
The identity associated with a Branch link cannot be updated
The type of a link cannot be changed, e.g. a marketing link is type 2, and a standard link generated by our Branch SDK is type 0
The following additional fields cannot be updated:
- app_id
- identity_id
- domain
- state
- creation_source
- app_short_identifier
