🔧 API How-To (Detailed)
Production-focused API workflow from first key to resilient multi-service automation.

2) Authenticate Requests
curl -X GET "https://25cent.cloud/api/v1/health" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"3) Upload + Share
curl -X POST "https://25cent.cloud/api/upload" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-F "[email protected]" \
-F "expiresIn=24h"4) Orchestrate Services
- Create Temporary Email for sign-up testing.
- Create Temporary Database for staging tests.
- Launch Web Tunnel for webhook callback validation.
5) Retry and Idempotency
- Retry transient 5xx responses with exponential backoff.
- Use idempotency keys on create endpoints where supported.
- Log request IDs for support traceability.
6) Production Hardening Checklist
- Rotate keys quarterly.
- Pin allowed IP ranges where possible.
- Set alerting on error spikes and quota thresholds.
- Use strict expiry defaults for temporary resources.
