đď¸ Free Image & Video Temporary Upload API**đď¸ Free Image Upload & Hosting API**
The **Free ImageâŻ&âŻVideo UploadâŻAPI** is a zeroâcost, plugâandâplay service that lets you POST a file and instantly receive a public URL that autoâexpires inâŻ48âŻhoursâideal for prototypes, chat apps, and any workflow needing throwâaway media hosting.
The API accepts all popular image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, TIFF, BMP, ICO, PSD, JP2) and common video containers (MP4/MOV, WebM/MKV, AVI, WMV/ASF, FLV, MPEG, 3GP) up to **10âŻMB**.
Objects are stored in S3 with default serverâside AESâ256 encryption (SSEâS3) and are deleted automatically by an S3 lifecycle ruleâsimilar to how AWS allows expiry rules as short as one day.

## Description
A **free image upload API**, **free video upload API**, and **temporary image upload API** rolled into one: upload media, get a shareâready URL in seconds, and forget about cleanup. Unlike adâdriven hosts such as File.io that require a download before deletion, this service guarantees expiry after 48âŻhours with no user action.
## UseâŻCases
* **Instant share links** in messaging, forums, or customerâsupport chats
* **Serverless prototypes** that need media without standingâup storage
* **CI/CD screenshots or test artifacts** during automated runs
* **Oneâoff marketing assets** (e.g., temporary landing page graphics)
* **Shortâlived video previews** for generativeâAI pipelines

## APIâŻDescription
* **Endpoint:** `POST https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/image-upload/upload`
* **Auth header:** `x-magicapi-key: YOUR_API_KEY`
* **Request:** `multipart/form-data` with one field `filename` containing the binary.
* **Response (200):** `{ "url": "https://âŚcloudfront.net/<file>" }`
* HTTPâŻ`400 | 401 | 413 | 500` error codes cover bad files, auth errors, oversize, or server issues.
## Usage
### Playground
Use the inâpage âAPIâŻPlaygroundâ on API.market to dragâandâdrop a file and copy the returned URL.
### Embed in your application
#### cURL
```bash
curl -X POST \
'https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/image-upload/upload' \
-H 'x-magicapi-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
-F 'filename=@"/path/to/photo.png;type=image/png"'
```
*(Syntax follows the standard `-F` multipart pattern documented by cURL)([curl.se][7])*
#### Python (requests)
```python
import requests
files = {'filename': open('clip.mp4', 'rb')}
headers = {'x-magicapi-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'}
r = requests.post(
'https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/image-upload/upload',
files=files,
headers=headers,
)
print(r.json()['url'])
```
#### TypeScript / JavaScript (fetch)
```ts
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('filename', fileInput.files[0]);
const res = await fetch(
'https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/image-upload/upload',
{
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'x-magicapi-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' },
body: formData,
}
);
const { url } = await res.json();
```
