What is qURL™?
A qURL access link is the URL you send someone after publishing a resource with LayerV. It is distinct from the resource’s CRID: the CRID identifies the resource, while the link grants access.
Link controls include:
- Expiry: The deadline for new redemption
- Use limits: Single-use or supported session limits
- Access policy: Supported IP, geographic, and user-agent restrictions
A typical workflow:
- Publish your private app with qurl publish and keep the app running
- Use qurl share <CRID> to issue an access link
- Send the returned link to the recipient
- Link expiry prevents new redemption; an open session has its own lifetime
- Use qurl delete <CRID> to retire the resource and invalidate its links
A link grants bearer access. Application sign-in is needed when the opener’s identity must be verified.
How LayerV Implements This
Publish a private resource, then use the qURL CLI, SDKs, or API to create access links for people and agents. Browser recipients need no CLI or LayerV account. A link can be revoked individually through the API; handle any retry required to complete live-session cleanup.
