Offcloud.com API

Introduction to the Offcloud.com API

Offcloud API is a solution that gives developers ability to interact with Offcloud.com service, including:

  • Adding an URL to Offcloud for Instant downloading
  • Adding an URL to Offcloud cloud.
  • Adding an URL to Offcloud for Remote downloading

All requests return JSON, including errors. All parameters should be passed to API scripts as POST request variables.

Authentificate to the Offcloud.com API

The best way to authentificate to Offcloud is to add "?apikey=" to your API queries, along with your API key. You can find your API key into your account settings @ https://offcloud.com/#/account

https://offcloud.com/api/*/?apikey=API_KEY

You can also authenticate to Offcloud by sending credentials to https://offcloud.com/api/login/classic

Parameters are:

  • username: actual e-mail of the registered user
  • password: password of the registered user

If authentication succeeds, the script will return the following data in JSON format:

  • email
  • userId

For example:

{
  "email": "test@test.com",
  "userId": "53f89e52822c8bf413000008"
}

In case of error, the script will return error message. For example:

{
  "error": "Please enter a valid email address."
}

To send the further requests you must pass the cookie “connect.sid” returned by auth request. In that case, you will no longer need to add "?apikey=" GET variable to your queries.

Submitting an input to Offcloud.com through the API

Adding an URL for instant downloading

To add an URL for instant downloading, you can make a POST call to the following URL with the available variables described below:

https://offcloud.com/api/instant/download?apikey=API_KEY
  • url: URL of downloaded resource
  • proxyId: (optional) ID of the preferred proxy server to use. If proxyId is not specified, the default user proxy server will be used

In the case of success, the script will return the following JSON answer:

  • requestId
  • fileName: the name of the requested file
  • url: url for instant download
  • site: website name
  • status: status of the requested file. Should be ‘created’
  • originalLink: link to the original file
  • createdOn: date and time when request was processed

In the case when adding this URL is not available for this user, API will return the following JSON answer:

  • not_available

Here are the following values of the ‘not_available’ response and their descriptions:

Name Description
premium User must purchase a premium downloading addon for this download.
links User must purchase a Link increase addon for this download.
proxy User must purchase a proxy downloading addon for this download.
video User must purchase a video sharing site support addon for this download.

When a request cannot be processed, API will return error message in the JSON answer.

Adding an URL for cloud downloading.

To add an URL for cloud downloading, you can make a POST call to the following URL with the available variables described below:

https://offcloud.com/api/cloud/download?apikey=API_KEY

  • site: website name
  • status: status of the requested file downloading. Can be ‘created’, ‘downloaded’, ‘error’.
  • originalLink: link to the original file

If you want to start a process of downloading from the cloud, please, be convinced that the status of download is ‘downloaded’. You can check the status of download request by sending an API call (see the section “Retrieving a status of user’s cloud download” below).

In the case when adding this URL is not available for this user, API will return the following JSON answer:

  • not_available

Here are the following values of the ‘not_available’ response and their descriptions:

Name Description

Examples

Here are some examples of jQuery API calls:

Authorization:
$.ajax({
    url: 'https://offcloud.com/api/login/classic',
    data: {username: 'test@test.com', password: 'test'},
    type: 'POST',
    crossDomain: true, // enable this
xhrFields: {
    withCredentials: true
},
    success: function(data) { console.log(data); },
    error: function() { console.log('Failed!'); }
});

The above example is obsolete if you opt to use for an authentification via API key. We actually recommend you use the API key with the "?apikey=" GET variable.

Adding an URL for Instant downloading:
$.ajax({
    url: 'https://offcloud.com/api/instant/download?apikey=VHK7OoGO57kH1JOO9VlNo8AdRVF0qLD8',
    data: {'url' : 'http://www.cnn.com'},
    type: 'POST',
    crossDomain: true, // enable this
xhrFields: {
    withCredentials: true
},
    success: function(data) { console.log(data); },
    error: function() { console.log('Failed!'); }
});
Retrieving a list of available remote accounts:
$.ajax({
    url: 'https://offcloud.com/api/remote-account/list?apikey=VHK7OoGO57kH1JOO9VlNo8AdRVF0qLD8',
    data: { },
    type: 'POST',
    crossDomain: true, // enable this
xhrFields: {
    withCredentials: true

    success: function(data) { console.log(data); },
    error: function() { console.log('Failed!'); }
