Create an API key

Go to Account Settings → API Keys → Create key. Copy the key straight away, since it's only shown once. You can create up to 5 keys per account.

Account settings

Install the MCP package

Run npm install @fileflippers/mcp and set your FF_API_KEY environment variable. That's it.

Send your first transfer

Call create_transfer with a file path and options. The API returns a shareable link you can send directly to your client.

What you get.

Full upload pipeline

API transfers use the same multipart chunked upload as the browser, with pause, resume, and crash recovery included.

Same scanning, no bypass

Every API upload goes through the same ClamAV virus scanning and CSAM checks as a manual upload. There is no scan bypass for API keys.

Convert + enhance via API

Trigger format conversion and AI enhancement programmatically. Credits deduct from your plan allowance exactly as they would in the UI.

MCP server for AI agents

Install @fileflippers/mcp and let Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent send files on your behalf without leaving your workflow.

Per-key rate limits

Create up to 5 API keys per account. Each key has its own rate limit. Revoke a single key without disrupting other integrations.

Webhooks (coming soon)

Get notified when a scan completes, a payment clears, or a file is downloaded. Webhook support is on the roadmap.

API uploads go through the same security checks.

There is no bypass for API keys. Every file uploaded via the API is scanned by ClamAV for malware (up to 2 GB) with Cloudflare's CSAM detection running at our delivery layer. The same rules apply whether a file is uploaded from a browser or from your CI pipeline.
