Overview

The file upload API is an interface which can be used in your own applications to securely upload, manage and download files externally from this website.

API compatibility

This API will evolve over time when access to other data within the system is made available. However, none of the current endpoints or response values will change. You can write your integration code knowing that it will not be affected by future updates unless there is a bug or security fix.

More functionalities will be added soon.

SSL/HTTPS recommended

All requests to the API requires SSL.

UTF-8 encoding

Every string passed to and from the API needs to be UTF-8 encoded.

HTTP Method

All methods are done using POST unless otherwise stated.

Date format

All date/times are based on UTC timezone.

All date/times in the API are strings in the following format:

Y-m-d H:i:s

For example:

2024-04-20 10:36:34

File size

All file sizes are provided in bytes.

1024 Bytes is equal to 1 Megabytes in our system.

API Path

All requests are sent to the follow API host:

https://1cloudfile.com/api/v2/ 

Error handling

Errors are returned using standard HTTP error code syntax. Any additional information is included in the body of the return call, JSON-formatted.

Standard API errors

Sample JSON Response:

{
    "status": "error",
    "response": "Could not authenticate user. The username and password may be invalid or your account may be locked from too many failed logins.",
    "_datetime": "2024-04-20 10:36:34"
}

Authorize

Provides an access_token and account_id to make further requests into the API.

All requests to the API must be done with a valid access_token and account_id. The same 'access_token' can be used multiple times in the same session, so you shouldn't generate a new access_token for each request.
