  description: 'Your original filenames can be accessed via [REST API](/docs/api/rest/).

    Make a request to receive a JSON response with file parameters including

    `original_filename`.


    You can set an optional filename that users will see instead of the original name:


    ```https://ucarecdn.com/:uuid/:filename```


    `:filename` should comply with [file name conventions](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.3)

    and it should be a valid part of a URL. For example, `filename.ext`.


    Here are some examples with full CDN URLs:


    ```

    Safe:
