yourlink.com/api

methods=["POST"]

This is a simple api that can receive a file that has been sent. This must be sent in the request argument "files" and the in the format of file=file or {"file": file}.

Then you will receive a json in the format of:

{'success': True or False, 'error': ErrorType}

yourlink.com/delete?user=user&pass=pass&filename=filename

methods=["DELETE"]

This is where adminuser and adminpass will be explained!

If the user and pass is not the same as the adminusername and adminpassword it will throw a 405 Forbidden HTTP Error.

This gives you the right to delete files that has been stored on your database.
