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.

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 using the folder management endpoints.

📤

Content Distribution

Generate unique download URLs with tracking stats. Share large files without email attachment limits.

🛡️

Backup & Archiving

Use the API to push backups, logs, or exports to organized folder structures with metadata tagging.

Integrate in 3 Steps

Authenticate

Call /authorize with your API keys or username/password to receive an access_token and account_id.

Upload or Import

Use /file/upload for direct file transfers, or /file/url_upload_add to ingest files from remote URLs.

Manage & Share

Organize files into folders, generate download links, edit metadata, or move assets between directories via API.

Quick Python Example

Python
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

Capability Endpoint Business Value
🔐 Authentication /authorize Secure token-based access with 1-hour session expiry
📤 File Upload /file/upload Direct multipart upload with folder targeting
🔗 Remote Import /file/url_upload_add Ingest files from external URLs without local bandwidth
📥 Download Links /file/download Generate time-limited, trackable download tokens
📁 Folder Management /folder/create, /folder/move Organize assets hierarchically with privacy controls
✏️ Metadata Editing /file/edit, /folder/edit Rename, reclassify, or relocate files programmatically
📊 Quota Monitoring /account/package Check storage limits, upload size, and plan restrictions

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.

Rediafile API vs. Building In-House

Requirement Build In-House Rediafile API
Storage infrastructure Months of DevOps work ✓ Ready in minutes
Global CDN delivery Extra cost & config ✓ Included
File size limits Server-dependent ✓ Up to 10 GB+ per file
Folder permissions Custom auth layer needed ✓ Built-in (public/unlisted/private)
Download tracking Analytics pipeline required ✓ Stats URL per file
Maintenance overhead Ongoing DevOps cost ✓ Managed by Rediafile

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.

Can I upload files without storing them on my own server first?

Absolutely. Use the /file/url_upload_add endpoint to schedule direct imports from remote URLs, or have your client applications upload directly to Rediafile via the /file/upload endpoint.

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.

Do you support chunked or resumable uploads?

Chunked uploads are not yet supported in API v2. For very large files, we recommend using the remote URL import feature or checking your plan's max_upload_size via /account/package.
