Send Anywhere Web API

Getting Started

To use the APIs, you need to pass your API key.

Ways to Pass Your Key:

HTTP Header

Pass the API key into the X-Api-Key header.

curl -H 'X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' 'https://send-anywhere.com/web/v1/device'

Get Query Parameter

Pass the API key into the api_key GET query string parameter.

curl 'https://send-anywhere.com/web/v1/device?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'

HTTP Basic Auth Username

Pass the API key as the username (without password) using HTTP basic authentication.

curl 'https://[email protected]/web/v1/device'

Examples

Register Device

To use the API, you need to have a unique device_key in your cookie or query parameters.

curl -c $COOKIE_FILE "https://send-anywhere.com/web/v1/device?api_key=$API_KEY&profile_name=Send%20Anywhere%20SDK"

Send Files

To send files, create an 6-digit KEY then you'll get a target link to upload files.

Request Sample (with jQuery)

$.ajax({url: 'https://send-anywhere.com/web/v1/key',
	type: 'GET',
	dataType: 'jsonp',
	api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
	cache: false
}).done(function (data) {
    // `data.key` is an 6-digit KEY.
    // `data.weblink` is a target link.
});

Receive files

To receive files, query an 6-digit KEY then you'll get a target link to download files.

Request Sample (with jQuery)

$.ajax({url: 'https://send-anywhere.com/web/v1/key/123456',
	type: 'GET',
	dataType: 'jsonp',
	api_key: YOUR_API_KEY,
	timeout: 3000,
	cache: false
}).done(function (data) {
	// data.weblink is a target link.
});

Cross Domain Request

We support JSONP which can be used by passing a callback parameter in the query string of the URL you are requesting.
