> Bring an archived link back, deactivated.



## OpenAPI

````yaml POST /links/{id}/restore
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Reqlick API
  description: >-
    REST API for Reqlick — link shortening, QR codes, file-to-link, custom
    domains and analytics.


    Authenticate with a workspace API key (`Authorization: Bearer rqk_...`),
    created under Settings → API Keys.


    A key is scoped to the single workspace it was created in. Using it against
    a different workspace returns 403, even when the owning user is a member of
    both.


    API access requires a paid plan.

      summary: Restore an archived link
      description: >-
        Brings an archived link back. It returns **deactivated**, so it does not
        start resolving again until you activate it with `PUT
        /links/{id}/status`.


        Returns `400` if the link is not archived, and `409` if it points at a
        file that has since been permanently deleted.
