Upload File API(Upload Local or Remote File)

You use the Upload File API to upload remote file or local file:

Upload Remote File

  1. Create a request and upload a file: 
    #!/bin/bash
curl -F AddRemoteFile={REMOTE_FILE_URL} 'https://fax.to/api/v2/files?api_key=API_KEY'

    <?php

$targetUrl       = 'https://fax.to/api/v2/files?api_key=API_KEY';

//for local file upload
if (function_exists('curl_file_create'))  // php 5.5+
      $cFile     = curl_file_create('LOCAL_FILE_PATH');
else 
      $cFile     = '@' . realpath('LOCAL_FILE_PATH');

$post            = array('AddRemoteFile' => 'REMOTE_FILE_URL'); 
$ch              = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$targetUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response        = curl_exec($ch);

// Decode the json object you retrieved when you ran the request.
$decodedResponse = json_decode($response, true);
var_dump($decodedResponse);

    
import urllib

url         = {'api_key': 'API_KEY'}
data        = {'file': 'REMOTE_FILE_URL'}

url_params  = 'https://fax.to/api/v2/files?' + urllib.urlencode(url)
data_params = urllib.urlencode(data);
response    = urllib.urlopen(url_params,data_params)
print response.read()

    require "net/http"
require "uri"

params       = {'file' => 'REMOTE_FILE_URL'}
json_headers = {"Content-Type" => "application/json"}

uri          = URI.parse("https://fax.to/api/v2/files?api_key=API_KEY")
http         = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
response     = http.post(uri.path, params.to_json, json_headers)

puts response

    {

}

Upload Local File

  1. Create a request and upload a file: 
    #!/bin/bash
curl  -F file=@{LOCAL_FILE_PATH} 'https://fax.to/api/v2/files?api_key=API_KEY'

    <?php

$targetUrl       = 'https://fax.to/api/v2/files?api_key=API_KEY';

//for local file upload
if (function_exists('curl_file_create'))  // php 5.5+
      $cFile     = curl_file_create('LOCAL_FILE_PATH');
else 
      $cFile     = '@' . realpath('LOCAL_FILE_PATH');

$post            = array('file'=> $cFile); 
$ch              = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$targetUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response        = curl_exec($ch);

// Decode the json object you retrieved when you ran the request.
$decodedResponse = json_decode($response, true);
var_dump($decodedResponse);

url_params  = 'https://fax.to/api/v2/files?' + urllib.urlencode(url)
data_params = urllib.urlencode(data);

print response.read()

    require "net/http"
