Quickstart

Go from zero to a working API call in three steps. No sales call, no manual approval.

1 · Create an account

Sign up on the developer portal (or get started). You'll verify your email with a 6-digit code and set a password. An API key is generated for you automatically.

2 · Get your secret

Open your dashboard → API keys. Your first key is waiting — click to reveal the secret. It's shown once, so copy it into your app's environment now.

export CLOUDBOX_SECRET="cbs_...your secret..."

TipPrefer to experiment first? Generate a test-mode key (cbs_test_…). Test keys write to an isolated sandbox and never count against your quota.

3 · Store and read an object

# store any object under a path you choose
curl -X PUT https://app.cloudbox.biz/api/v1/objects/backups/hello.txt \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDBOX_SECRET" \
  --data-binary "hello cloudbox"

# read it back
curl https://app.cloudbox.biz/api/v1/objects/backups/hello.txt \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDBOX_SECRET"

That's it. Every write is mirrored across storage nodes, so it survives a node going down. Next, see the full Objects reference or set up automated backups.
