WebFileTools API: automate your file processing

The WebFileTools API lets you automate file uploads and sharing from your scripts and applications.

Get an API key

1. Create an account at /register
2. Open /dashboard/api-keys
3. Create a key with the upload scope

Key format: wft_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Authentication

Pass the key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer wft_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Quotas

cURL example

curl -X POST https://webfiletools.com/api/upload \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wft_YOUR_KEY" \
  -F "file=@document.pdf"

Python example

import requests

API_KEY = "wft_YOUR_KEY"
with open("document.pdf", "rb") as f:
    r = requests.post(
        "https://webfiletools.com/api/upload",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"},
        files={"file": f},
    )

print(r.json().get("url"))

JavaScript example

const fs = require("fs");
const FormData = require("form-data");

const API_KEY = "wft_YOUR_KEY";
const form = new FormData();
form.append("file", fs.createReadStream("document.pdf"));

const res = await fetch("https://webfiletools.com/api/upload", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + API_KEY, ...form.getHeaders() },
  body: form,
});

console.log((await res.json()).url);
