About ddownload

DDownload provides a REST API (v2) for programmatic file hosting and management, accessible from a base URL at api-v2.ddownload.com/api and authenticated with an API key obtained from the Affiliate Dashboard settings. The API supports account operations (retrieving account info and usage statistics), file uploads via a two-step process (requesting an upload server and session ID, then submitting a multipart form), and file management operations including retrieving file info, listing files with pagination and filtering, batch-checking file status, checking for duplicate files by MD5 hash or filename, renaming files, and organizing files into folders. Folder management endpoints (listing, creating, renaming, deleting, and moving folders) are also referenced in the navigation.

Responses are returned in JSON and include status codes for conditions such as file found (200), not found (404), and content removed for legal/DMCA reasons (451). The API enforces a rate limit of 3-4 requests per second per API key.

This API is intended for developers building applications that need to integrate file upload, storage, and file/folder management functionality with DDownload's hosting service.
