# Generate public shareable links

One of the features of the [Observer](https://dashboard.defastra.com/observer) is that you can generate publicly accessible links to quickly share your fraud prevention reports or data enrichment results with others.

A public link has a simple format, for example: <https://defastra.com/public-link-3712adaa4ed05164xxxx>

[block:api-header]
{
  "title": "Public link options"
}
[/block]

When creating a public link, you will have the choice to:

* Set an optional expiry date for the link to be deactivated automatically and prevent any misuse
* Send it to any email

      "image": [
        "https://files.readme.io/a69058f-d0dc8cb9fd9dc568ecb6bbb271e47257.png",
        "d0dc8cb9fd9dc568ecb6bbb271e47257.png",
        738,
        599,
        "#000000"
      ],
      "sizing": "80",
      "border": true
    }
  ]
}
[/block]

[block:api-header]
{
  "title": "Manage and kill your public links"
}
[/block]

You can view and control your links from [My public link tab](https://dashboard.defastra.com/observer).

You can determine if your public link has been seen by reviewing the conveniently provided ***visit counter***.

    {
      "image": [
        "https://files.readme.io/eb12fc9-37ab9fa85b107de63ccb507ecdb35673.png",
        "37ab9fa85b107de63ccb507ecdb35673.png",
        3328,
        561,
        "#000000"
      ]
    }
  ]
}
[/block]

When a link expires or is removed, it displays a **404 NOT FOUND** error.

[block:callout]
{
  "type": "info",
  "title": "Note",
  "body": "For security purposes, a button is available to kill all of your links at once. To eliminate all public links, click ***Remove All My Public Links***."
}
[/block]

[block:api-header]
{
  "title": "Opening a public link"
}
[/block]

When a public link is opened, the report will be presented to the selected recipient exactly as it would if opened within the dashboard, but without having to login.
