Welcome to 4shared SOAP API documentation!

Dear developer!

We are glad to introduce you official 4shared API Program. With the 4shared API, you can get started developing your application for Mobile Phones (iPhone, Android, Symbian, Blackberry, Windows mobile), Windows, Mac, iPad, and Linux today.

You may easily use more than 50 API functions to perform any actions with 4shared like - access web account, upload\download files, search files, create and delete folders, etc.

4shared API is totaly free! All required samples you may find at 4shared API documentation. Any questions regarding 4shared developer program you may discuss at our forum.

Every month we will pick best app with 4shared API and award developer for $5,000!


Sources

4shared Project at google code.google.com

WSDL can be obtained from here or please check here for more secure SOAPing.

You can get java sources from svn repositories at http://4shared-api.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/java/demo/ and http://4shared-api.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/java/api/. Demo sources also contain compiled jar. So if you only need 4Shared interaction you can use demo.


Samples

Java:

CreateFolderDemo.java DeleteFileDemo.java Demo.java DownloadDemo.java EnumerateItemsDemo.java EnumerateItemsDemo2.java LoginDemo.java RecycleBinDemo.java RenameDemo.java SignupDemo.java StringUtils.java [UploadDemo.java http://4shared-api.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/java/demo/src/com/pmstation/api/demo/UploadDemo.java]



Upload HOW TO

First of all you should check if you have enough free space in user’s account:

 function long getFreeSpace(String login, String password);

(returned value – free space in bytes)

And what is upload limit for user (per file):

 function long getMaxFileSize(String login, String password);

(returned value – maximum file size in bytes)

Please, check if target file corresponds the mentioned conditions, if it does, then:

Get session:

function String createUploadSessionKey(String login, String password, long dirID);

Set ‘-1’ as DirId parameter. In this case file will be uploaded to the root directory. Or read full API description to learn how to browse user's directory for subdirectories' ids. Return session key if everything is ok and empty or null string if you can't upload to the specified dir.

Get datacenter:

 function int getNewFileDataCenter(String login, String password);

If returned datacenter is less or equal then 0 - something goes wrong.

Then get URL for upload using session and datacenter:

 function String getUploadFormUrl(int dataCenterID, String sessionKey);

Returned string is only valid if it starts with http, otherwise, you can't upload file;

To reserve fileId for yor upload call function:

 function long uploadStartFile(String login, String password, long dirID, String name, long fullSize);

Again, fileId can be only positive.

Then use received URL and fileId to upload by executing POST query multipart/form-data with fields

1) resumableFileId (file ID received via previous method)

2) resumableFirstByte (index of the first byte of current part. If the file is uploaded as single unit – then pass 0. If the file is divided into parts and is uploaded by parts – then pass index of the byte every part starts from)

Attach the file to the query as a parameter FilePart.

where last parameter is file md5 digest. If the file is successfully uploaded – function returns null or empty line, if not – you will get an error message. If the file was uploaded by parts, this function unites them into one.

You are done!

Search files on 4shared

To search files on 4shared.com you should use the following url

http://search.4shared.com/network/searchXml.jsp

Parameters:

       q - keyword

Example: q=funny cats

       searchExtention - type of file (extension or category)
       

If you need extension just use searchExtention=mid. Remember, if you are using parameter searchExtention you should also use searchmode=3


For searching in direct category use the following:

       category:1 - music
       category:2 - video
       category:3 - photo
       category:4 - archive
       category:6 - program
       category:7 - web documents
       category:8 - mobile applications
       

Example: use searchExtention=category:1 - if you are searching only music.

       sortType - type of sorting
         1 - sort by downloads;
         2 - sort by upload date;
         3 - sort by size;
         4 - sort by name;
       sortOrder - sorting order(Ascending -1, Descending 1)
       start - offset, is used for pagination

start value should be divisible by 10


Usage example:

http://search.4shared.com/network/searchXml.jsp?q=somebody&searchExtention=mid&sortType=3&sortOrder=1&searchmode=3&start=10

Response:

<search-result>
<query>somebody</query> - keyword
<total-files>24</total-files> - number of found files
<page-number>2</page-number> - page number
<pages-total>2</pages-total> - total amount of pages
<start>10</start> - offset
<files-per-page>10</files-per-page> - amount of files per page
<files-approx-count>24</files-approx-count> - approximate number of files (when amount of found files is more than 1,000). If amount of found files is less than 1,000 it equals to <total-files></total-files>
<result-files>
<file>
<name>somebody_to_shove.mid</name> - filename
<description/> - description
<downloads-count>8</downloads-count> - number of downloads
<upload-date-format>hh:mm dd-MM-yyyy</upload-date-format> - upload date format
<upload-date>04:19 19-05-2009</upload-date> - upload date
<url>http://www.4shared.com/audio/qVaKdItF/somebody_to_shove.htm</url> - download page url
<preview-url/> - preview url if exist
<flash-preview-url/>- flash preview url if exist
<user>wym</user> - username
<size>39 KB</size> - file size
</file>
<file>
...
</file>
</result-files>
</search-result>
