Filebase

Filebase is an S3-compatible object storage and IPFS pinning platform that combines familiar cloud storage APIs with decentralized, blockchain-backed infrastructure. Developers can store, manage, and pin files to IPFS using standard S3 tooling, a dedicated IPFS Pinning Service API, and an IPFS RPC API — all without changing existing workflows. Filebase delivers geo-redundant 3x replication, free egress for object storage, a global CDN, and predictable pricing, making it straightforward to build Web3 applications on top of decentralized networks through a Web2-style developer experience.

Filebase publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Buckets API, Data Management API, IPNS API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Object Storage, IPFS, S3 Compatible, Decentralized Storage, and Pinning.

The Filebase catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Filebase’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, pricing, and 10 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/filebase: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: The Filebase S3-Compatible API provides standard AWS S3 protocol support for bucket and object management.
    Developers can use any existing S3 SDK, CLI tool, or framework with endpoint s3.filebase.io and region us-east-1. Authentication
    uses AWS Signature Version 4 (AWS4-HMAC-SHA256) with Filebase access key and secret key pairs. Supported operations include
    bucket creation and deletion, object upload (including multipart), copy, delete, and listing. Objects stored in IPFS-backed
    buckets are automatically pinned with 3x geo-redundant replication.
