Shortlink

Every uploaded file gets an 8-character short code. Use /s/:code for quick access without the full file ID.

How it works

  1. Upload a file via POST /api/upload
  2. Response includes shortCode (8 chars) and shortUrl
  3. Share /s/:code — automatically redirects to the file
  4. Files and shortlinks expire after 1 hour
GET /s/:code → 302 redirect to file

Directly redirects to the file. Open in browser or use with curl -L.

# Open in browser
https://helper.archio.qzz.io/s/b9dcf4c2

# Download via curl (follow redirect)
curl -L -O -J https://helper.archio.qzz.io/s/b9dcf4c2
GET /api/s/:code → JSON metadata

Fetch file metadata by short code without redirecting.
