Dub.co to Elido: import links with an API token

Paste a Dub API token and the importer copies each link's key, destination, title and tag names into an Elido domain you choose. Folders and click counts are not imported.

Cosa puoi fare

What the Dub importer does

Import with an API token

Paste a Dub API token and Elido reads your links through the Dub API. The API accepts an optional source-workspace filter that the dashboard wizard does not expose, so Dub returns what the token sees by default.

Slugs, destinations, titles and tags

The Dub key becomes the Elido slug. The destination, title and tag names come along, and every imported link also gets the tag imported:dub.

Conflict strategy per job

Choose what happens when a slug already exists in the target domain: suffix (slug-2, slug-3 up to slug-50), skip, or fail the whole job. The strategy applies to the whole job, not row by row.

Read-only on Dub

Elido only reads from Dub. Nothing in your Dub account is changed, so you can run both while you validate.

How it works

API in, links out

The importer runs inside api-core as a background job. It pages through Dub and creates one Elido link per source link in the target domain you chose. Limits per job: 50,000 links, 30 minutes, and the first 1,000 error details are kept. The wizard shows imported, skipped and failed counts as it runs.

Setup guide

Import in four steps

1
Get a Dub API token
Dub, Settings, Tokens, create a token with read access to links.
2
Add the target domain in Elido
Links are created in one Elido domain that already exists in your workspace. To keep your old short URLs alive, add the same hostname in Elido and move its DNS after you have validated the import.
3
Paste the token and pick a strategy
Dashboard, Integrations, Dub.co → Elido. Choose the target domain and the conflict strategy.
4
Run and review
Start the import, watch the counts, then check a sample of links. Imported links carry the tag imported:dub.

Dub API docs

What transfers

What gets imported, and what does not

Imported

Destination URLs.
Slugs (see the conflict strategy for collisions).
Titles (cut to 200 characters).
Tags, plus an added imported:dub tag.

Not imported

Click history and click counts.
Link passwords, expiry dates, geo or device rules, and UTM templates.
Custom domains: links import into one Elido domain you pick, and DNS stays with you.
Dub folders (earlier copy said they were preserved; they are not).
Dub click-count snapshots.

Authentication

Dub token, read-only use

The token is passed from the dashboard to the import job and is not written to disk. Elido sends it to Dub only to read links. Revoke it in Dub when the import is done.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to export a file first?+

No. The importer reads your links through the Dub API. Paste the token and start.

What happens to duplicate slugs?+

The conflict strategy you pick applies to the whole job: suffix adds -2, -3 and so on up to -50, skip leaves the existing link, and fail stops the job at the first conflict. There is no overwrite option.

Are click statistics migrated?+

No. Only link definitions are imported. New clicks are counted in Elido from the moment a link is served by Elido.

Will my old short links keep working?+

Only if the same hostname points to Elido. Links are created in the Elido domain you chose. Until you move DNS, Dub keeps serving the old URLs.

Can I undo an import?+

Imported links are tagged imported:dub, so you can find them in the links list and remove them. Nothing in Dub is touched.

How large an import can I run?+

Up to 50,000 links per job within a 30-minute limit. Split larger accounts by running again after cleanup.
