The Fileflare REST API lets you manage assets, products, and orders programmatically — upload files, attach them to products, trigger delivery emails, view download stats, and more. It’s a standard JSON API authenticated with a Bearer token.

Get an API key from Settings → API in the Fileflare app. Available on all plans, but some endpoints require specific plan tiers (e.g., customer-account download links require Premium).

Quick start

  1. In Fileflare, go to SettingsAPI and click Generate API key.
  2. Copy the key. Keep it secret — it has full access to your store’s Fileflare data.
  3. Make a request: include Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY on every request, plus standard JSON content-type headers.
  4. Hit GET /api/v1/orders to confirm auth is working — you’ll get back a list of your orders.
