Introduction

Elido

Elido is a URL shortener built for compliance-conscious teams. Where Bitly, TinyURL, Rebrandly, and Short.io optimise for marketing breadth, Elido optimises for EU-resident infrastructure, audit-grade observability, and a hot path you can self-host.

If you are looking for the marketing site, that lives at elido.app . This is the developer reference.

What you’ll find here

  • Getting Started — sign up, create your first link, hit the API.
  • Authentication — Personal Access Tokens, Workspace API Keys, OAuth2.
  • Errors — error envelope, status codes, retry semantics.
  • Rate Limits — per-token, per-workspace, per-IP limits.
  • Webhooks — operational events and the SIEM firehose.
  • SDKs — first-party clients for TypeScript, Python, and Go.
  • Self-hosting — Helm chart, dependencies, sizing.
  • API Reference — interactive OpenAPI playground.

Tier separation

The redirect path is split across three subdomains so the free tier can never poison the reputation of paid tiers in Gmail / Outlook spam filters:

TierRedirect host
Freef.elido.me
Paid (Starter / Pro)s.elido.me
Business / Enterpriseb.elido.me

The portal (elido.app) is the same regardless of tier.
