Updating file metadata

Downloading a file

To download a file, you must first know its identifier. The file id can be retrieved after a successful upload process in the response's Location header, or by using the "Listing" endpoint, as described in the Listing your files section above.

Then, you need to retrieve its download_url attribute by sending a GET request to the following URL. In the URL, set the {fileId} value to the previously retrieved identifier.

GET /files/{fileId}

Request Headers

The following request headers must be set.

Accept: application/vnd.u2s.v1+json
X-Api-Key: your_api_key

Here is how it works using curl.

curl -v \
     -H "Accept: application/vnd.u2s.v1+json" \
     -H "X-Api-Key: your_api_key" \
     "https://api.up2sha.re/files/56883"

Response Body

{
    "id": 56883,
    "user_id": 1,
    "filename": "my_file.exe",

    ...

    "dowload_url": "https://up2sha.re/files/eWVRdv8VQoYi/download"
}

Finally, send a GET request to retrieved download url - see the download_url attribute shown above.

GET https://up2sha.re/files/eWVRdv8VQoYi/download

Here is how it works using curl.

curl -v \
     -o my_file.exe \
     "https://up2sha.re/files/eWVRdv8VQoYi/download"

Response Body

The response body contains the file contents.
