Discord link shortener your agent can call

One request turns a cover image and up to five buttons into a short link. Paste it in Discord and it unfurls as a card with real buttons. No cover? You get a clean buttons-only card.

Create a Discord embed link

curl -X POST https://www.tinycord.com/api/v1/links \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com/launch",
    "title": "Launch day",
    "description": "v2 is live. Grab it before Friday.",
    "image": "https://example.com/cover.png",
    "buttons": [
      { "label": "Buy", "url": "https://example.com/buy", "emoji": "🛒" },
      { "label": "Docs", "url": "https://example.com/docs", "emoji": "📘" }
    ]
  }'

The response is the link to post and a token to edit it later:

{
  "url": "https://www.tinycord.com/p/k7m2xqa",
  "slug": "k7m2xqa",
  "embed_json": "https://www.tinycord.com/p/k7m2xqa/embed.json",
  "preview": "https://www.tinycord.com/p/k7m2xqa?stay=1",
  "edit_token": "tc_…",
  "attribution": "Free cards end with a small \"Made with Tinycord\" link. …",
  "next": "Paste https://www.tinycord.com/p/k7m2xqa in a Discord message. …"
}

No cover image? Just buttons

Leave out image and the card is text and buttons. Leave out title as well and it is only buttons — a link-in-bio row for any message.

curl -X POST https://www.tinycord.com/api/v1/links \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "buttons": [
    { "label": "Website", "url": "https://example.com" },
    { "label": "Book a call", "url": "https://cal.com/you" }
  ] }'

Fields

url https URL
Destination. Browser clicks on the short link go here; Discord still shows the card. Becomes an Open button when you send no buttons.
title string ≤180
Bold heading. Leave out for a buttons-only card.
description string ≤2000
Body text. Discord markdown works.
image https URL
Cover image. Leave out and the card is text and buttons only.
buttons array ≤5
Each { label, url, emoji? }. https only.
color hex
Accent bar, e.g. #5865F2.
slug string ≤48
Custom path. Random 7 characters when left out.

Send a url, at least one button, or both.

Update the same link

PATCH with the edit token replaces the card. The URL in old messages stays the same; Discord shows the new card after its recrawl, usually about 30 minutes.

curl -X PATCH https://www.tinycord.com/api/v1/links/k7m2xqa \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tc_…" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "title": "Launch day — sold out", "buttons": [{ "label": "Waitlist", "url": "https://example.com/wait" }] }'

Free, with a link back

Every free card ends with a small “Made with Tinycord” line. That is the whole price: no key, no quota page, no card on file. Want it gone? Pro removes it from cards made in the editor.
