Render + Foldr Integration
Render is a unified deployment platform for web services, workers, and databases. Archive Render backups to Foldr on a cron job to avoid relying only on Render's built-in snapshots.
How to Connect Render to Foldr
Generate a Foldr API key
Sign in at foldr.space and create an API key at foldr.space/developers.
Authenticate with Render
Generate or locate your Render API credentials per Render's documentation.
Wire the two APIs together
Write a small script or serverless function that calls Render, processes the result, and POSTs to https://foldr.space/api/v1/files (or /links for short links).
Deploy + schedule
Run the script on-demand, via a cron job, or trigger it from a webhook — the Foldr REST API has no client-library lock-in.
Common Use Cases

- Store Render backups on Foldr on a cron schedule
- Attach Foldr URLs to Render issues, PRs, or runs

Render + Foldr FAQ
How do I connect Foldr to Render?
You connect Foldr to Render via REST API. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the REST API integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map Render's data into Foldr's request body.
Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use Render with Foldr?
The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with Render — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.
What Foldr features can I call from Render?
From Render you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.
Is there an official Foldr app for Render?
Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with Render through REST API, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
