cURL

Upload Files

You can upload files using this simple shell script. You can export the $TOKEN AND $HOST in your .bashrc or .zshrc (whatever shell you use), or just replace them with their actual values within the script it self.

Before using this script you need to have jq installed.

curl -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "authorization: $TOKEN" -F file=@$1 $HOST/api/upload

You can also modify this a bit to make it copy the files url to the clipboard. This is made possible with the xsel tool.

curl -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "authorization: $TOKEN" -F file=@$1 $HOST/api/upload | jq -r '.url' | xsel -ib

Shorten URLs

You can also shorten URLs using this simple shell script. You can export the $TOKEN AND $HOST in your .bashrc or .zshrc (whatever shell you use), or just replace them with their actual values within the script it self.

#!/bin/bash

arg=$1;
curl -H "authorization: j42hCgpWGIBxXzT1Uh2cXueC.MTY3MjY5ODA5NDMzNg" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "No-JSON: true" -d "{\"url\": \"$arg\"}" $HOST/api/shorten | tr -d '\n' | xsel -ib;

$ ./shorten.sh https://example.com

This script takes advantage of the No-JSON header, which will return a text response. This is useful if you want to skip the JSON parsing, which can be slow in the case of jq.
