snapwonders-com Media Upload - TUS Resumable API

The [TUS](https://tus.io) resumable protocol at `/api/tus` — several requests per file: `POST` to create the upload, `PATCH` to send chunks, `HEAD` to query the offset and resume. More work to implement than **Media Upload - Direct** above, and worth it for three things: **files over 95 MB**, connections that drop (mobile, Tor, I2P), and per-chunk progress for a user watching an upload. This is what the snapWONDERS website and apps use. Set `Upload-Metadata: upload_uid ,step MQ==` for the primary file, or `step Mg==` for the cover media of a steganography hide. Authenticates with `X-Api-Key`, same as everything else. **No per-file size cap is applied at upload time** — size is checked when you start the job, against the total-size and file-count limits for your account tier (Pro allows more than free). So a large file will upload successfully and may still be rejected at `job_start`.

  title: snapWONDERS API / MCP Media Upload - TUS Resumable API
  description: 'The snapWONDERS API is available over **Clearnet**, **Tor** and **I2P** (dark web). All endpoints and this Swagger UI work identically on all three networks. ---


    ## Authentication


    All endpoints **except `GET /api/status`, `OPTIONS /api/tus` and the no-auth MCP methods (`initialize`, `tools/list`, `status`, `*_get_started`)** require an API key, sent in the `X-Api-Key` request header (or as `Authorization: Bearer `):


    ```

    X-Api-Key:

    ```


    Obtain an API key from your **snapWONDERS account profile** once you have a registered account. Keys begin with `sw_` and are hashed server-side — store the raw key immediately after generation as it cannot be retrieved again. ---


    ## SDKs — skip the choreography


    Everything below this section is the **raw HTTP contract**. You do not have to write it yourself. A full run means: create a session → upload each file → start a job → poll until it finishes → fetch the result URLs → download. Uploading is one `POST /api/upload` per file, so the tedious part is the polling and the plumbing rather than the transfer — unless your files are large enough to need the resumable protocol, which is genuinely fiddly. The **snapWONDERS SDKs** collapse all of it into one call. The first two examples do the **same thing** in each language — hide `secret.pdf` inside `cover.jpg` (Vaultify stego) — and the third shows forensic analysis. Each block is self-contained, so it runs as-is. ### Python — hide a file, then download the result


    ```python

    from snapwonders import Client


    client = Client(api_key="sw_...")


    # The last path is the cover; everything before it is a secret. job = client.stego.hide(["secret.pdf", "cover.jpg"], password="Str0ng!Pass")


    for result in job.results():

    result.download("out/")

    ```


    ### JavaScript / TypeScript — the same hide, then download


    ```javascript

    import { Client } from "@snapwonders/sdk";


    const client = new Client("sw_...");


    // The last path is the cover; everything before it is a secret. const job = await client.stego.hide(["secret.pdf", "cover.jpg"], { password: "Str0ng!Pass" });


    for (const result of await job.results()) {

    await result.download("out/");

    }

    ```


    ### Python — forensic analysis, graded A–F


    ```python

    from snapwonders import Client


    client = Client(api_key="sw_...")


    # Grade each file A–F and collect the overlays the analysis produced. job = client.analyse.run(["photo.jpg"], face_detection=True)


    for item in job.results():

    print(item.filename, item.grade, item.face_count)

    for asset in item.assets: # ELA map, face overlay, …

    asset.download("out/")

    ```


    In JavaScript that is the same call — `await client.analyse.run(["photo.jpg"], { face_detection: true })` — with the result fields in camelCase (`item.faceCount`). Sessions, TUS chunking and resume, polling until the job finishes, retries on transient failures, and typed errors are all handled for you. `client.convert` (media conversion) follows the same shape: one call in, results out. | Language | Package | Install | Source |

    |----------|---------|---------|--------|

    | Python (3.10+) | `snapwonders` | `pip install snapwonders` | GitHub |

    | JavaScript / TypeScript (Node 18+) | `@snapwonders/sdk` | `npm install @snapwonders/sdk` | GitHub |

    | PHP (8.2+) | `snapwonders/sdk` | `composer require snapwonders/sdk` | GitHub |

    | Go (1.21+) | — | `go get github.com/snapWONDERS/snapWONDERS-SDK-Go` | GitHub |

    | Ruby, Java, C#, … | generated from this spec | see the Developers hub | — |


    **Status:** All four are **live**. Python and JavaScript via `pip install snapwonders` / `npm install @snapwonders/sdk`; PHP via `composer require snapwonders/sdk` on Packagist; Go straight from GitHub with `go get`. All four clients are **open source on GitHub** (Python, JavaScript / TypeScript, PHP, Go). See the **Developers hub** for full quickstarts and the generation recipe for other languages. Prefer the raw API — or working in a language without a client? Everything the SDKs do is documented below; nothing is hidden from you.'
