Welcome to Meltr

A burn-after-download file service

How it works

• Upload a file via the /In API endpoint. Max 10 mb. Specify TTL in hours for the file
• Save the ID you get back form the upload API. This ID is unique for your file
• The file is now stored on a encrypted drive on our servers
• Get the file back before it expires by calling the /out API endpoint with the ID
• The file is permanently removed from our servers when the /out endpoint has been called or the file has expired
• We do not keep backups or in any way, shape or form replicate the uploaded files. When we delete from our severs, they are gone for ever

How to use

Upload file

    curl -X POST -F "file=@/path/to/my_file.txt" -F "ttlInHours=24" https://meltr.io/api/in

• ttlInHours must be from 1 to 240. This is the number if hours the file is available before it is automatically expired
• Take note of the ID you get back from the API. This is the ID you will use to get the file back. ID is in uuid form. Ex: 8b3e1b9e-4b0b-4b5c-8b3e-1b9e4b0b4b5c
• Optional but recommended: Encrypt your file before posting it

Get file

    curl -X GET https://meltr.io/api/out/8b3e1b9e-4b0b-4b5c-8b3e-1b9e4b0b4b5c -o my_downloaded_file.txt

• Returns 404 if the file does not exist. Either it has already been fetched, it has expired or it never existed at all
