## Safelinking

- `debrid/safelinking` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence reported | binding none | category link container / link protector with a public HTTP API | tier free
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-23T01:52:41.420Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-07
- url https://safelinking.net/
- price USD 0
- free tier: A protect API is published with no account field: POST https://safelinking.net/api with 'links-to-protect' mandatory and optional captcha, password, title, provider and mirror fields, plus rsdf/dlc/rtc/cnl2 container output. No price list or quota appears on the API page or the front page. | unit: unlimited | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-23 | source: [1] | note: The front page is the same form with 'Mirrors', 'Package details' and 'Security Options' (captcha, package password, IP filtering). Nothing on it names a limit.
- per-object cap: not applicable: it protects link lists; the linked host's cap applies when the file is fetched. | source: [1]
- retention: unverified: no retention statement found. Old links (a 2018 post cites two) were still being discussed, but none was fetched successfully. | source: [2]
- egress: No egress of its own: a package page sends the visitor to the host links. | metered: no | free allowance: none: no service-side bytes | source: [2]
- identity: anonymous | detail: The API documentation lists no credential parameter. The 2011-era competitors required username:password; this one's protect call does not. Not confirmed end to end because the host did not answer a direct request.
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - write-gated: captcha is optional but on by default in the form (recaptcha or fancy captcha) [2]
  - request-rate: unstated [1]
- limits note: No byte quota, no account quota and no per-day generation count is published.
- binding note: Nothing in the vocabulary binds at 1 TiB/month because no bytes pass through Safelinking; the only gate is its optional captcha on creation.
- interface detail: Two documented HTTP endpoints: POST /api to protect (returns the package URL) and GET /check?link=<package>&output=JSON|XML for a link_status check. Container exports: RSDF, DLC, CCF and CNL2. Short links on sflk.in.
- endpoint: part of the free tier
- tooling: Any HTTP client; the API is form-encoded and documented in the project's GitHub README. JDownloader has a safelinking decrypter.
- composes with: It is the indirection half of a pipeline: protect a set of host links, then hand the package URL to a downloader. It does not resolve to direct links and does not bypass any host limit.
- reliability: Treat reachability as location-dependent, not as uptime.
- notes: Answers half question negatively: it will mint a protected link anonymously over HTTP, but it does not resolve anything to a direct link and it adds a captcha rather than removing one.
- evidence note: The page text is a provider snapshot rather than a live origin read, and both direct probes timed out, so the record is third-party until a request succeeds from a client network. A measured rung needs one successful /check call.
- extras:
  - api_endpoints: POST https://safelinking.net/api; GET https://safelinking.net/check?link=<package>&output=JSON
  - short_domain: sflk.in
  - reachability: timeout from this host
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-23: the protect API at https://safelinking.net/api with 'links-to-protect' mandatory and no credential field; the /check?link=&output=JSON|XML status endpoint; rsdf/dlc/rtc/cnl2 outputs
  - [2] 2026-10-23: the live form: Mirrors block, Package details, Security Options with captcha, package password and IP filtering
  - probe:https://safelinking.net/check?link=https://safelinking.net/s64aTFQ&output=JSON 2026-10-23: the API host did not answer a user: timeout after 21151.8 ms, 0 bytes, error 'timeout'
  - probe:https://safelinking.net/s64aTFQ 2026-10-23: the package host also timed out: 21133.5 ms, 0 bytes, error 'timeout'
