Add one HTTP Request node to your n8n flow: POST the file with your API key and the response hands the next step a live, shareable URL.
Any supported file works. Code: HTML · ZIP · JSON · JSONL · YAML · TOML · XML · SQL · MD · INI · ENV · PROPERTIES · LOG · WASM
There is no community node to install. n8n's built-in HTTP Request node is all it takes: fill it in like this and read data.url from the node's output.
# n8n: add an "HTTP Request" nodeMethod: POSTURL: https://upload.tf/api/v1/uploadHeaders: x-api-key = {{ $env.UPLOADTF_KEY }}Body: Form-Data file = (binary property from the previous node) name = weekly-report # Downstream nodes read {{ $json.data.url }}Sign in, open the dashboard, and create a key. API access is included with paid plans, and your key works immediately.
Drop in an HTTP Request node, set the method to POST, the body to Form-Data, attach the binary field that holds your file, and add the x-api-key header.
The response body carries data.url, the live link. Map it into the next step: a Slack message, a spreadsheet row, an email, a CRM field.
The file your n8n flow just produced becomes a URL in the same run, with no manual upload step in the middle.
Downstream apps rarely take file attachments, but every one of them takes a link. One stable https URL fits any field.
Send a PUT with the same name and the page updates at the same URL, so a recurring job keeps one permanent link.
Not yet. This page uses n8n's generic HTTP Request node, which needs no install and works the same on n8n Cloud and self-hosted. Everything shown runs against the documented public API.
The upload endpoint accepts an HTML page or a ZIP of a static site and publishes it at its own URL. That covers the reports, dashboards, and generated pages most flows produce; other file types work through the browser uploader.
Create an API key in your dashboard and send it in the x-api-key header of the HTTP step. Keep the key in your workspace credentials or environment variables, never in the URL.
The API is included with paid plans, which also raise size limits and keep links live longer. You can try the flow manually first with the free uploader on this page, no account needed.
Set the body type to Form-Data and choose the binary property that holds your file, for example data from a Webhook or Read Binary File node. n8n sends it as a multipart upload.
See every workflow recipe, or, if you run a platform, the embed API.
