Getting Started
Welcome to the Alfafile API!
To use Alfafile API you require the following:
- A alfafile account. You can open a Alfafile account here
- Access Token. You can create a access token by using either of the Alfafile API user/login method
We provide client API libraries in a variety of popular languages.
Since Alfafile serves a huge client base, programming errors in software tools can cause an DDOS attack to the Alfafile servers. When programming software apps, always keep in mind that your tool might be used by many people at the same time. So make sure you do not kill our API servers, which might cause some big issue. Make sure your program STOPS retrying a failed request after 3 tries. Always make sure you do not make more API calls than necessary.
You can of course also call the API via POST or GET Our API will give answer in JSON
Be careful when giving too many wrong passwords. The password brute-force protection will block your IP when you enter too many wrong passwords.
