}Our uploading API rests on a geographically distributed network of servers. Like a CDN in reverse, the API makes sure uploads always go the fastest route possible. The service won’t skip a beat with huge files, multiple uploads, or spotty connections.
In-house file infrastructure? No thank you.
The REST File API provides low-level access to Uploadcare platform features. You can manage files, file groups and projects, including metadata, data from external services, conversions, and batch operations.
