File upload

Upload a file to the SFS storage space associated with particular CDN zone.

Note: SFS has been deprecated and replaced by Sonic - PUSHR's new S3-compatible object storage service. The following SFS API is being ported to Sonic for compatibility reasons, but may become unsupported in the future. We strongly recommend that you use the S3 API instead.

Parameters

Example

You must pass the file and all parameters, including your API key. Here is how to do it in PHP but you can achieve the same effect in your language of choice. For this example we will use two files - one is our actual upload function and it never changes, while the other is used to pass the parameters to the upload function and we use it dynamically in our workflow to automate the file uploading process:

class.uploader.php:

class Uploader 
    {
        var $filePath;
	    var $uploadURL;
	    var $formFileVariableName;
	    var $postParams = array ();
        
        function Uploader($filePath, $uploadURL, $formFileVariableName, $otherParams = false) 
        {
            $this->filePath = $filePath;
		    $this->uploadURL = $uploadURL;
		    if(is_array($otherParams) && $otherParams != false) 
		    {
			    foreach($otherParams as $fieldName => $fieldValue) 
			    {
				    $this->postParams[$fieldName] = $fieldValue;
			    }
		    }
		    $this->postParams[$formFileVariableName] = new \CURLFile($filePath);
	    }
        
        function UploadFile() 
	    {
		    $ch = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
		    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->uploadURL);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD, false);
		    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
		    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $this->postParams);
		    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
		    $postResult = curl_exec($ch);
            echo $postResult;
		    if (curl_errno($ch)) 
		    {
			    print curl_error($ch);
			    print "Unable to upload file.";
			    exit();
		    }
		    curl_close($ch);

		    return $postResult;
	    }
    }

new_upload.php:

require_once('class.uploader.php');
$api_key = '8d4b30b60a879ff05059125e6f3md15a0728ef41'; // Your API key
$zone = '10920'; // Your CDN ID
$folder = '/apiTestUpload/'; // If empty, file is uploaded to root of the CDN zone. If the folder does not exist, it will be automatically created. Format: /folder/subfolder/
$upload_server = "https://web.de01.sonic.r-cdn.com/api/v3/upload";
$upload = new Uploader('backgroundimage.jpg', $upload_server, 'file', array('api_key' => $api_key, 'zone' => $zone, 'folder' => $folder));
$result = $upload->UploadFile();

Response

Important

You should always parse the returned link since special characters and white spaces will be automatically removed from the name of the uploaded file.
