Rediafile API — File Upload Integration for Developers

Why Developers Choose the Rediafile Cloud API

Building a custom file storage infrastructure is expensive and time-consuming. Servers, CDN, encryption, virus scanning, and bandwidth management drain engineering resources that could be spent on your core product.

The Rediafile API offloads all of that. You get a production-ready file layer with authentication, folder management, expiring links, and download tracking — accessible through clean REST endpoints that any developer can integrate in under 30 minutes.

• No infrastructure to manage — We handle storage, CDN delivery, and SSL.
• Token-based authentication — Secure access_token flow with automatic expiration.
• Folder-level permissions — Private, unlisted, or public folders with optional password protection.
• Remote URL ingestion — Import files directly from external URLs without downloading them locally.
• Business-ready limits — Check quotas programmatically via the /account/package endpoint.

Common Integration Use Cases

• 📱 Mobile & Web Apps — Let users upload profile photos, documents, or media directly from your iOS, Android, or React app to cloud storage.
• 🏢 SaaS Platforms — Add file attachments to tickets, projects, or records. Organize uploads per customer with folder isolation.
• 🤝 Client Portals — Build secure file exchange portals where clients upload sensitive documents to password-protected folders.
• 🔄 Automation & ETL — Schedule remote URL imports and move files between folders automatically.
• 📤 Content Distribution — Generate unique download URLs with tracking stats.
• 🛡️ Backup & Archiving — Use the API to push backups, logs, or exports to organized folder structures.

Integrate in 3 Steps

1. Authenticate — Call /authorize with your API keys or username/password to receive an access_token and account_id.
2. Upload or Import — Use /file/upload for direct file transfers, or /file/url_upload_add to ingest files from remote URLs.
3. Manage & Share — Organize files into folders, generate download links, edit metadata, or move assets between directories via API.

Quick Python Example

import requests, base64

# 1. Authenticate
auth = requests.post("https://rediafile.com/cloud/api/v2/authorize", data={
    "username": "your_username",
    "password": "your_password"
}).json()

token = auth["data"]["access_token"]
account = auth["data"]["account_id"]

# 2. Upload a file
with open("report.pdf", "rb") as f:
    upload = requests.post(
        "https://rediafile.com/cloud/api/v2/file/upload",
        data={"access_token": token, "account_id": account},
        files={"upload_file": f}
    ).json()

print("File URL:", upload["data"][0]["url"])

API Capabilities at a Glance

Security & Compliance

Every API call requires HTTPS. Authentication supports both username/password and permanent API key pairs (64-character Key 1 & Key 2). Tokens expire after one hour of inactivity, reducing the risk of leaked credentials. Folder-level access can be restricted with MD5-hashed passwords for sensitive client data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rediafile Cloud API?
The Rediafile Cloud API is a REST API that lets developers and businesses integrate secure file upload, storage, and sharing directly into their applications, SaaS platforms, or internal workflows.

How long does it take to integrate the Rediafile API?
Most developers complete their first integration in under 30 minutes using our REST endpoints, authentication tokens, and code examples in Python, PHP, JavaScript, and cURL.

Is the Rediafile API suitable for enterprise use?
Yes. The API supports account-level restrictions, folder permissions with password protection, rate limiting, and HTTPS-only communication, making it suitable for business and enterprise file management.

What happens when my access token expires?
Tokens expire after 1 hour of inactivity. Your application should catch HTTP 401 responses and re-authenticate via /authorize to obtain a fresh token. For automation, API keys (Key 1 & Key 2) never change.
