Linktree Install & Auth

Overview

Set up Linktree API for programmatic link-in-bio management with 25M+ creators.

Prerequisites

  • Linktree account and API access
  • API key/credentials from Linktree dashboard
  • Node.js 18+ or Python 3.8+

Instructions

Step 1: Install SDK

npm install @linktree/sdk
# or: pip install linktree-sdk

Step 2: Configure Authentication

export LINKTREE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
echo 'LINKTREE_API_KEY=your-api-key' >> .env

Step 3: Verify Connection (TypeScript)

import { LinktreeClient } from '@linktree/sdk';
const client = new LinktreeClient({ apiKey: process.env.LINKTREE_API_KEY });
const profile = await client.profiles.get('myprofile');
console.log(`Profile: ${profile.username} — ${profile.links.length} links`);

Step 4: Verify Connection (Python)

import linktree
client = linktree.Client(api_key=os.environ['LINKTREE_API_KEY'])
profile = client.profiles.get('myprofile')
print(f'Profile: {profile.username} — {len(profile.links)} links')
