Clients

XBackBone is built around screen-capture and file-sharing tools: connect one, and a screenshot or a dragged file lands on your instance with the short link already on your clipboard.

You set these up from the Integrations area of your profile, where XBackBone generates a ready-to-use configuration pre-filled with your instance URL and a personal upload token — no manual editing required.

Keep your token safe

Generated configurations and scripts embed an API token. Treat it like a password, and revoke it from Profile → Tokens if it is ever exposed — then generate a fresh one.

Capture apps

Install the app, then point it at your server.

Programmatic access

InterfaceDescription
REST APIUpload and manage resources from your own code or tooling. Every client above uses it under the hood.

Any other tool

Don't see your tool? Any client that can send a multipart/form-data file with a bearer token can upload to XBackBone. Point it at the /api/v1/upload endpoint with a token scoped to the resource:upload ability — see the REST API reference. Every instance also serves its own interactive OpenAPI documentation (by default at /docs/api) describing the exact request and response formats for your version.
