Web API for Image Upload & Storage
Here are Rest APIs that we will use Axios to make HTTP requests:
| Methods | Urls | Actions |
|---|---|---|
| POST | /upload | upload a File |
| GET | /files | get List of Files (name & url) |
| GET | /files/[filename] | download a File |
You can find how to implement the Rest APIs Server at one of following posts:
- Node.js Express File Upload Rest API example
- Node.js Express File Upload to Google Cloud Storage example
- Spring Boot Multipart File upload (to static folder) example
