Getting Started — No API Key Required
Gofile lets you upload anonymously with no API key or account. Uploading without credentials automatically creates a temporary guest account and returns a download-page link.
The current flow is two steps: first ask the API for the best upload server, then POST your file to it.
// 1. Get an available upload server
const { data } = await fetch('https://api.gofile.io/servers').then(r => r.json());
const server = data.servers[0].name;
// 2. Upload the file to that server
const form = new FormData();
form.append('file', fileInput.files[0]);
const res = await fetch(`https://${server}.gofile.io/contents/uploadfile`, {
method: 'POST',
body: form
});
console.log(await res.json());
Optional: create a free account and copy your API token from your profile page to tie uploads to your account. Send it as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN. See gofile.io/api for the full endpoint list.
