About Synk

synk is a simple, single binary self-hosted webservice that allows anonymous key-based data storage and retrieval.

To use it, make a PUT request to:

https://synk.tezoatlipoca.com/blob/{key}

To get the same data back, make a GET request to the same URL.

For example, using curl:

curl -X PUT "https://synk.tezoatlipoca.com/blob/abc123" --data-binary @excellent.meme.png

uploads a file to key abc123 (obviously you'd want something better than that). And to retrieve:

curl "https://synk.tezoatlipoca.com/blob/abc123" --output <FILE>

It's up to you to know what data is stored at that key - no metadata about the payload is provided when you upload, so no metadata about it is available when you retrieve it.

If you GET a key using a web browser, it will likely just write an extension-less {key} named file to your Downloads folder.

• If you PUT using an existing key, you overwrite the data.
• If the size of what you PUT is too big, you get HTTP 413 Payload Too Large - the size of the "synkstore" is configurable by the owner (here it is 1.4 GB).
• {key}s can be whatever you like up to 512 bytes long (good enough for most crypto keys).
• But as a good practice, it should be at least 16 bytes long.
• As a convenience, there is /key which generates GUIDs.
• Data is retrieved exactly as it is stored - if you GET a valid key, you GET the data.
• But YOU can always encrypt the data before you store it with the key.
