Amazon S3 + Foldr Integration
Amazon S3 is the foundational object storage of the modern web. When you need a friendlier public link with click analytics on top of an S3 file, push it through Foldr and share the foldr.space URL.
How to Connect Amazon S3 to Foldr
Generate a Foldr API key
Sign in at foldr.space and create an API key at foldr.space/developers.
Authenticate with Amazon S3
Generate or locate your Amazon S3 API credentials per Amazon S3's documentation.
Wire the two APIs together
Write a small script or serverless function that calls Amazon S3, 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.
