ddownload API
Overview
ddownload is a file hosting and sharing service that exposes an API for uploading files, checking account stats, and managing stored files programmatically. It uses API key authentication and targets developers who need to integrate bulk file hosting and download link generation into their applications. Responses follow a simple JSON structure with a numeric status field.
Beginner Tip
Get your API key from the ddownload account dashboard. All requests require the key parameter in the query string. Test with the ACCOUNT_INFO operation first to confirm authentication is working before attempting file uploads.
