🚀Getting Started
Learn how to quickly authenticate, upload your first file, and start serving URLs with Stow.
Step 1: Authenticate
Use your Stow API key (created during Cloud Account Setup) to authenticate your API requests. Example header:
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>Step 2: Upload a file
Send a POST request to the Stow API with your file attached. You can optionally include a directory to organize your file.
Example using curl:
curl -X POST https://api.stow.io/upload
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"
-F "[email protected]"
-F "directory=profile-images/"Response:
{ "url": "https://cdn.stow.io/profile-images/myphoto.png" }Step 3: Use your file URL
After a successful upload, Stow returns a public URL for immediate use in your application, website, or anywhere you need it.
Optional: Use directories
If you included a directory field, your file will appear under that path in the URL (e.g., profile-images/).
That’s it!
No complex setup, no backend code required — just upload and go.
