Request Signed URL for Upload/Download Files

to generate signed URLs both for uploads and downloads

POST <base_url>/port/api/v1/commerce/signedUrls

Please replace <base_url> as explained here.

Precaution

File Size

Our system currently only support file sizes with a maximum limit of strictly less than 2GB, or in other words:

    filesize < 2^31 

This essentially implies that any user interaction with our API involving data transfer would necessitate adherence to this requirement. Manifestly, if a file size exceeds the defined threshold of 2GB, it may possibly impede the operation of the application.

File Name

File name

  1. should not contain space.

  2. should contain the file extension, including but not limited to .jpg, .png, .pdf, etc.

  3. use a unique name for each file. Filename is unique perissuer-address otherwise it will fail.

    This is to avoid modification of files that are already used in SRR. However given the upgrade to the IPFS protocol, there is no need to be concerned for the filename in terms of its look. The filename is not going to exist in the minted SRR since it is going to be converted to IPFS and the filename will be replaced with cid that is a function of the file's content and not file's name.

*In order to make the file names unique anyway, you can prefix/suffix the name with a unique number such as Date.now() .

**Given the underlying usage of IPFS, there is no need to be worried about duplicated contents. Since if two files with different name but same content will eventually be replaced with the same ipfs url.

The API responds with 201 when the signed URL is created. The validity of the signed URL is 15 minutes after it is created.

The client’s back-end needs to consider its upload speed. If the files that need to be uploaded are many, client’s back-end may consider splitting the signed URL request to ensure that all of the files are uploaded.
