API introduction

An application programming interface (API) is a set of functions, methods and procedures that allows third party usage of some app. To put it simple, is a standard way to upload pictures without using the regular home page.

Features:

  • Upload files either from a URL or local file
  • Response format can be JSON(P), XML, RAW TEXT or a REDIRECT
  • Uses basic authentication system (API key)
  • Works with POST and GET
  • Provides rich status codes and descriptions

The API is located on /api.php and you are free to make your own API files like my-api.php based on the code of the bundled API.

By this moment the API is a fresh new feature and it will be polished over and over. You can discuss the API implementation and suggest new features on the API forum.
