Summary

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a way of seeing all the visits plus the query params passed through it, because I need to join those parameters with other reports to create funnels, but I don't see a way of tracking that information or reporting it to something else.

Thank you!

Shlink exposes a redirectUrl for every visit, which is the long URL to which the visitor was redirected. This URL should include all the query parameters that were forwarded, so there should be something you can do with that.

However, this was introduced in Shlink 4.3.0. Any visit generated in previous versions will have this value set to null.

Ok, I need to call the API and extract the query parameters from each invocation, right?

Yes, exactly. There are endpoints to get visits per short URL, tag, domain, orphan visits or all of them.

See the documentation here https://api-spec.shlink.io/#/Visits

You can also subscribe for real-time updates and get a system notified as soon as a visit occurs. See https://shlink.io/documentation/advanced/real-time-updates/ and https://api-spec.shlink.io/async-api
