description: 'The Filen API is used by Filen clients for uploading and downloading files, managing files and directories, sharing items, accessing notes and contacts, having chat conversations, managing user-specific settings, and more.
### API hosts

For file transfers, there''s `ingest.filen.io` and `egest.filen.io`. `ingest.filen.io` is used for uploads while `egest.filen.io` is used for downloads.
### API responses
All API responses follow the scheme (TypeScript type definition):
```ts
{
status: boolean, // indicates whether the request was successful
message: string, // additional information
code: string, // a status code
data: any? // optionally, response data
}
```
### Internal endpoints
There are a number of internal endpoints whose specifics are not documented here.
