API Features for Developers
File Upload Endpoint: Send files via multipart/form-data POST requests. The API supports single and multiple file uploads, progress tracking, and automatic file validation. Large files are handled efficiently with chunked upload support.
Download Management: Generate secure, time-limited download links programmatically. Control access with password protection, set expiration dates, and track download analytics through the API.
Swagger/OpenAPI Documentation: Our API is fully documented with Swagger. Import the spec into Postman, Insomnia, or your favorite API client to start testing endpoints in minutes. The documentation includes request examples, response schemas, and error codes.
Webhook Support: Receive real-time notifications when files are uploaded, downloaded, or expired. Configure webhooks from your developer dashboard to keep your application synchronized with Rediafile events.
Getting Started with the Rediafile API
Step 1 — Get Your API Token: Log in to your Rediafile account and navigate to the API settings page to generate a secure access token. Alternatively, use the auth/login endpoint to authenticate programmatically and receive a token in the response.
Step 2 — Make Your First Request: Use your token in the Authorization header and send a POST request to the upload endpoint. Here is a simple cURL example:curl -X POST https://rediafile.com/cloud/api/upload \n -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \n -F "file=@document.pdf"
Step 3 — Handle the Response: The API returns a JSON object containing the file ID, download URL, expiration date, and metadata. Store the download URL in your database or share it directly with your users.
Step 4 — Explore Advanced Features: Once you have basic upload working, explore endpoints for file listing, deletion, password protection, and bulk operations. Check the full API reference for details.
