Upload API

Endpoint

POST https://quickuploads.co/api/upload

This is the upload endpoint for quickuploads.co.

Request

• Method: POST
• Content-Type: multipart/form-data
• Body: One file in a form field named file, image, or video.

If the site owner has set an API key (UPLOAD_API_KEY), you must send it:

• Header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
• Or query: ?token=YOUR_API_KEY

Allowed image types: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, bmp, svg. Allowed video/audio: mp4, webm, mov, avi, mkv, m4v, mp3. Size limits depend on server config (defaults: images 32 MB, videos 2048 MB).

Response (success)

{
  "success": true,
  "url": "https://quickuploads.co/abc123",
  "direct_url": "https://quickuploads.co/api/stream?v=abc123",
  "deletion_url": null,
  "code": "abc123"
}

The url is a short link (e.g. /abc123) that redirects to the image or video page. direct_url is the raw file. Use url for sharing (ShareX "URL to copy").

cURL example

curl -X POST "https://quickuploads.co/api/upload" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/your/image.png"

With API key: add -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" or append ?token=YOUR_KEY to the URL.

QuickUploads app

The QuickUploads Windows app already supports this API. Set the site URL in the app to https://quickuploads.co; it will use /api/upload and the correct form field and response parsing. If you use an API key on quickuploads.co, add it in the app so it sends Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY.

• 400 – No file, invalid type, or file too large
• 401 – Invalid or missing API key (when the site requires one)
• 429 – Rate limit exceeded
• 500 – Server or storage error
