FileSender API

  • Updated

Note: with the recent major update to FileSender, all API keys were purged from FileSender. This means that any previously created API keys will no longer work. To continue using the FileSender API, you will need to generate a new API key.

Prerequisites

To use the FileSender API, you’ll need your unique API key. To retrieve your API key:

  1. Click user-icon.pngMy Profile on the side navigation panel.
  2. Copy the long string displayed under API secret.
