getaudiolink

This method can't be used from web applications. Referrer is restricted to pcloud.com.

Name

getaudiolink

Auth

yes

Description

Get a streaming link for audio file Takes fileid (or path) of an audio (or video) file and provides links from which audio can be streamed in mp3 format. (Same way getfilelink does with hosts and path)

Optional parameters are abitrate, forcedownload and contenttype.

The default bitrate is 192kbit.

It can also be used to extract the audio track from a video.

The link itself supports the start GET parameter. This method can be used to play FLAC and other new formats on devices that only support mp3 playback.

URL

https://api.pcloud.com/getaudiolink

Required

ParameterDescription
fileidint ID of the renamed file
pathstring Path to the renamed file
Use fileid or path

Optional

ParameterDescription
forcedownloadint Download with Content-Type = application/octet-stream
contenttypestring Set Content-Type
abitrateint audio bit rate in kilobits, from 16 to 320

Output

On success it will return array hosts with servers that have the file. The first server is the one we consider best for current download.

In path there will be a request you should send to server. You need to construct the URL yourself by concatenating http:// or https:// with one of the hosts (first one) and the path.

Example

{
    result: 0,
    expires: "Thu, 03 Oct 2013 01:23:12 +0000",
    path: "/hash/My Audio.mp3",
    hosts: [
        "c53.pcloud.com",
        "c58.pcloud.com"
    ]
}
