The File Finder API returns structured data about files found on the web, including file types, names, links, sizes, and additional metadata such as date added and referrer information.
Key fields in the response include "file_id," "file_type," "file_name," "file_link," "file_size," "date_added," and "referrer_link," which provide essential details about each file found.
Users can customize their requests by passing parameters such as keywords, file types (e.g., PDF, MP3), and other search criteria to refine their search results.
The response data is organized in a JSON format, with a "status" field indicating success or failure, and a "files_found" array containing individual file objects with detailed attributes.
The File Finder API aggregates data from various web sources, including public repositories, media sites, and educational platforms, ensuring a diverse range of digital content.
Typical use cases include searching for specific media files, finding educational resources, accessing open-source materials, and gathering business-related documents for research.
Users can utilize the returned data by extracting relevant fields such as "file_link" for direct access, "file_type" for filtering, and "referrer_link" for additional context about the source.
If the API returns partial or empty results, users should consider refining their search parameters, such as using more specific keywords or different file types, to improve the relevance of the results.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.

Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
