I made a simple python script to generate firebase dynamic links for my app using POST API https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/rest

However, in web UI I can set custom link address (i.e. example.app.goo.gl/customlinkname), while using API address seems to be always auto-generated.

Is there such a feature using POST API?

I tried to set "option": CUSTOM with customSuffix parameter, however response was that option CUSTOM is not supported.

Nope -- this feature is not available using the REST or Client SDKs. Only for Dynamic Links that you create using the Firebase Console.

    Is this coming from Google officially? Because this is exposed on a few other libraries according to documentation on the internet https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/api/firebasedynamiclinks/v1#Suffix – Ryan Romanchuk Sep 03 '19 at 03:51
  • Same here. @Todd Kerpelman I think the definitiveness in your answer minus pointing to a link probably means you're a Google representative. Where can I request this feature? – Gaurav Ramanan May 05 '20 at 09:31

    Be great to have this. "Unsupported Suffix option CUSTOM" [https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/rest#create_a_short_link_from_parameters] – MadMac May 01 '22 at 05:32
  • I do not understand why this is not possible !!!! – Damien Romito May 17 '22 at 15:48

Don't trust naysayers. I know it's too late, but because I've struggled so much searching for solution I'm uploading working solution I've found recently.

Use library firebase-dynamic-links-generator by Sufiyan Shaikh (see https://pypi.org/project/firebase-dynamic-links-generator/#description). It allows you to create custom suffix that you'll be able to see in your Firebase console.

Note: To import this file use from firebase_dynamic_link import GenerateFirebaseDynamicLink instead of from firebase_dynamic_link_generator ...
