The Null Pointer API

API

No-bullshit file hosting & URL shortening API

Overview

The Null Pointer API offers minimalistic, no-frills file hosting and URL shortening. Key endpoints include POST to the root URL for file uploads (accepts raw data or form submissions) and POST with a 'url' parameter for shortening. Responses are plain text (direct links to files/shortened URLs), simplifying integration into scripts or tools. Ideal use cases: quick sharing of code snippets, logs, or small files; automating URL shortening; embedding into apps for temporary storage. No authentication is required for basic usage.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://0x0.st')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
