Registration

Registering a new account or linking an additional cloud storage provider.

 

General

Account registration is completed by connecting a Cloud Storage Provider. The email address from the Cloud Storage Provider becomes the email address for the account (this can be changed later). After account creation, users should set a password to control access. 2Factor Auth can also be added for additional security.

The registration API’s are the same as the Link Cloud Storage API’s. If you attempt to register with a Cloud Storage Provider that is already connected to an account, you will be logged in instead of creating a new account.

First, get a URL to redirect the user to by calling Get OAuth Link.

Second, complete linking the Cloud Storage Provider, which will create the account, by calling the Process OAuth Code with the parameters received from the Cloud Storage provider callback.

The Process OAuth Code endpoint will return the registration status of the account and the pairing status of the cloud storage.

Authentication

 

You can utilize our API by authenticating with either an API Key, a JSON Web Tokens or an Access Token which will provide a JSON Web Tokens. The JSON Web Token and an API Key are both valid forms of authentication in all API requests except the auth resources themselves.

auth_token referenced in this documentation can be populated with either your valid API Key or a valid JSON Web Token.

Disabled by default

API Keys are disabled by default for security and must be explicitly created.

HTTPs Only

Fast.io only supports requests over the HTTPs protocol. Any requests made via HTTP will be rejected or fail.

Server Side Only

The API key should never be publicly exposed. Its recommended you only use it in Server-Side applications where you can control access.

API Key

Once you login to your account, you can retrieve your API Key by performing the following steps.

  1. Go to your Account Settings.
  2. Click on Integrate.
  3. Click on Add API Key if it's not already enabled.
  4. Copy the API Key.

Key Length

API Keys are fixed at 36 characters in length.

API Key Expiration

API Keys do not expire but can be deleted at any time.

You can delete an API Key at any time using the Delete button. Once you delete an API Key it is immediately invalidated.

JSON Web Token

JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. JWTs can be signed using a secret.

The user/token API provides a valid JSON Web Token which can be useful for an on-demand token generation.

Scopes

Your JWT includes scopes that indicate access. Before accessing a given API, ensure you have the proper scope. For this version of the API, there are only 3 scopes which makes it pretty easy. Additionally, in this version of the API, only 1 scope will be provided with your JWT and they are meant to be inclusive of previous scopes.

Scope
Desc

fast.io/auth

This scope indicates you have limited access to secondary authentication API's only, such as 2-Factor Authentication. You will need to complete further authentication before getting any additional scopes. Specifically, you can call Authorization Check to see if 2Factor is enabled or get the current credentials scope, and you can call Auth 2Factor to get an extended scope beyond auth.

fast.io/user

This scope indicates you have standard user access to the API including the auth API's.

fast.io/role

This scope is not used in this version of the API.

fast.io/admin

This scope is not used in this version of the API.

Password Change

A password change will immediately invalidate all JSON Web Tokens, after changing an account password previous tokens will be invalid. API Keys are not affected.

Supply Credentials

Credentials may be supplied through several formats for flexibility of development. In this documentation we will use an API Key for readability and include it as a header where applicable.

Method
Format
Desc

HTTP Header

Authorization: Bearer :auth_token

This form of authentication can be used for all API requests except for user/token itself.

HTTP Post

auth_token: :auth_token

You can include it as a parameter in any HTTP Post requests.

HTTP Get

?auth_token=:auth_token

You can include it in the URI in get requests. Note: This is not recommended, but it is supported for your flexibility.

Failure to supply credentials for any resource that is protected results in a 401 response.

2 Factor Authentication

Accounts may have 2-Factor authentication enabled. If you're using an API Key for authentication, 2-Factor authentication is not used. If you're using JSON Web Tokens via user/token then you may be subject to additional authentication through the 2-Factor API.

2-Factor authentication is implemented via Authy and supports its apps, SMS, and phone call. Only cellphones should be used. Before enabling 2Factor, associate a phone_number and phone_country with your User. When this feature is enabled, calling user/token will generate a limited JSON Web Token that can only be utilized with the user/2factor APIs.

Once authentication is completed through user/2factor a second JSON Web Token with full scope privileges is provided.

2Factor Overview

An overview of how 2 Factor authentication works in the Fast.io API.

 

2Factor Authentication in this API is powered by Authy. Authy is a rotating token generation application available on the web, desktop, and all mobile platforms. Authy works like Google Authenticator and supports many websites by default. There is no cost to use 2-Factor authentication via Authy with Fast.io. Learn more about Authy on their website.

Cellphones Only

Only cell phones are supported for 2-Factor Authentication. Any non-cellular number will be rejected.

Rotating Tokens

Authy creates a 6-digit token that rotates every 20 seconds for each app. Once you login or try to perform a protected operation, you will be prompted for this code. You must enter the code that Authy provides in that 20-second window. This token, from the app, SMS or phone call, is referred to in this API as a token. Any API that requires a 2Factor token is referring to this 6-digit code provided by Authy.

How to enable 2-Factor

To enable 2-Factor, you must first have entered a valid phone number in the User Object. Once a phone number is accepted there, you can simply call the Add 2Factor API. One of two things will happen, 1) if you are already an Authy user, the Fast.io App will be added to your existing app, or 2) if you are not, you will receive instructions on adding the app via SMS to the phone number specified in your User Object.

Once you have successfully added via the Add 2Factor API, you must do a follow-up call to the Verify 2Factor API with the token from Authy.

When to use a Call or SMS

When you do not have access to the Authy app but need to authenticate a 2-Factor operation, you can receive a One Time Passcode ("OTP") from Authy via phone call, or via SMS. This should be a backup to the normal Authy App though only. The OTP does not have to be entered within 20 seconds but does have a limited lifespan and will be invalidated by further authentications.

When is a 2-Factor Code Required

The token is required in a number of operations when it's enabled, most prominently, logging in and any destructive operations such as closing an account, or deleting a Server.

Login

When you log in to an account with 2-Factor authentication, the scope of your token is limited to the Auth 2Factor API only. You must call this API with your JWT and the appropriate token. This API returns an updated JWT with a full scope JWT.

Login Via Link Cloud Storage

If you log in through your cloud storage provider, instead of via email and password, and 2Factor is enabled, you will still be given a limited in scope JWT that must be upgraded.

Certain API Calls

Some API calls require a token to be included with the request, but only if 2-Factor auth is enabled.

Checking 2-Factor Status

You can programmatically check 2-Factor Status via the User Details API, or via the recommended the method Authentication API (which details the current scope of the provided JWT).

Authy

Fast.io uses Authy to provide its 2Factor authentication. They provide a variety of apps and you can use voice calls and SMS messages as well.

Cellphones Only

Only use cell phones with 2Factor authentication.

Requirements

To add 2Factor authentication, you must already have a valid phone_number and phone_country code in your User Object. 2factor must be false in the User Object as well.

Verification

Once you add 2Factor, you will have to verify the addition with a token response before it will be activated. This ensures you are not locked out of your account. The state will be unverified in Get 2Factor until it is verified.

Limited Time to Verify

You have limited time to verify your 2-Factor authentication. If you do not verify within 1 hour of the addition of 2Factor, it will be removed.

Storage Overview

An overview of how the provider system works and supported providers.

 

Supported Providers

Fast currently several major Cloud Storage Providers listed in the table below. All providers share the same common functionality on Fast. You can use multiple providers at the same time but only one provider is allowed per Server.

Missing Provider?

Want us to support a provider not listed here? Contact us at [email protected]

Pairing Cloud Storage

You can pair all supported Cloud Storage Providers with a single account. Each server may only have one provider however you can have multiple servers for each Provider.

Server Origin

Your Cloud Storage Provider serves as the backend for your Fast CDN Server. In your Cloud Storage, Fast creates a folder for all your Server origins. When you create a new server, a folder of the same name is created in the chosen Cloud Storage provider. Content in the folder will be made available on the Server.

Changing Providers

You can change the Cloud Storage Provider for a Server after the initial configuration to any paired Cloud Storage Provider. Content will not be transferred between providers by Fast. You must put whatever contents you want into the new provider either before or after changing it over.

Cached contents of a Server will be immediately flushed once a provider is updated.

Permissions

Any special permissions or restrictions you place on files in your Server folder will be ignored and the content will be accessible. Only place contents you wish to be accessible in your Server folder on your Cloud Storage Provider.

Options

Fancy Indexing

You can turn on automatic indexing of your Server contents where Fast automatically generates a list of the contents for easy access. This is enabled by default. If you would like to obscure the contents of your Server, disable this option.

Index Files

If you would like to provide your own index files, you can put default index files in the root of folders. Supported index files names are listed under the Server Object.

Protected Storage

Protected storage providers will only be visible if they are available to you. The protected field in the Storage Object will only be true if the Storage Overview is restricted or protected. In practical terms, this is typically used for pre-release providers and beta users.

Google Apps Files

Google Apps files will be converted to application/pdf when possible and not accessible when a conversion is not possible.

Google Apps Files Auto Updates

Google Rate Limits the rate of automatic updates to Google Apps Files. As such, rapid updates will not be picked up automatically as there is a delay, set by Google, as to how quickly updates can be exported.

Authentication and Errors

The most common type of issue is a failure to Authenticate with the Cloud Storage Provider. If you remove credentials from Fast, or if our token is invalidated in some other way this field will be false. To resolve you must re-add the provider through the "Add Provider" option on http://go.fast.io/app/.

Do Not Remove to Resolve Errors

Removing a Cloud Storage Provider will flush the cache and disable Servers. If your Server has errors, try re-authenticating through the "Add Provider" option before anything else.

Authenticated and Expired Fields

Accounts may have both authenticated and expired set to true. As long as the credentials are believed to be renewable, authenticated will be true even if expired. Once the storage provider rejects authorization 'token', the authenticated field will become false.

Analytics Filters

Analytics Filters allow you to prevent request spamming to your Analytics Provider for content not relevant to your application. For example, if you are serving a static web page, you may only want to report the HTML request and NOT image, CSS, or Javascript requests. Alternatively, if you were serving a software package, you may want to exclude all HTML and Images.

There are pre-defined modes you can choose or set custom include or exclude REGEX string. The available modes are detailed below. 0 is the default mode.

Filtering can be done based on the URL or the Country Code.

Filter and Filter Country

filter_mode and filter are used for URL filtering. This parses the regex based on the full request URL, including protocol and FQDN.

filter_mode_country and filter_country are used for client origin filtering. This filter applies the filter_country to the ISO country code of the client connection.

ISO-3166

We use ISO-3166-1 Alpha-2 codes. Each country is identified by 2 Latin digits and is not case sensitive.

Mode
Include
Exclude
Description

0

Everything

Nothing

The default filter includes all requests and excludes no requests.

1

Include Regex

Nothing

Includes only content that matches the filter fields regex.

2

Nothing

Exclude Regex

Excludes only content that matches the filter fields regex.

Include and Exclude Filters

When the filter_mode is set to include or exclude, only content matching/missing the filter will be sent to the analytics provider.

For example, if your filter finds entries ending in .jpg and your filter is set to include, any requests ending in .jpg will be transmitted. All other requests will be excluded.

Consequently, if you use an exclude filter, only entries matching the filter will be excluded, all other entries will be included.

Filters

Filters can be an effective tool to eliminate noise either by only including the data you want or by excluding the noise itself. Regular expressions are powerful tools that can be written to exclude or include many types of files or URL's). The regex is applied to the full request URL including protocol.

More details on regex available at this Regex guide.

CDN Overview

An overview of Content Delivery Networks and how they work.

 

Introduction

Content Delivery Networks are networks of servers that deliver the content in the last mile. They are located globally and attempt to deliver the content to end users as quickly as possible. Fast has support for multiple CDN's which have different performance levels and price points. You can only use one CDN per Server but you can use different CDNs for different Servers.

Supported CDN

The list of available CDN's is below. The Default CDN Provider is auto.

CDN Name
API Name
Description
Tier

Akamai

akamai

Akamai Global Network utilizing thousands of global points of presence.

1

CloudFlare

cloudflare

CloudFlare's Global Network uses a Megapop model for content delivery with 150+ points of presence globally.

1

Tier

CDN Tiers are tied to the cost and performance of the provider. The tier is fixed to the provider.

Domains and DNS

Only providers that have domains set to true can be used with Domains and DNS API's. If you bind your Server to a CDN that does not support domains all requests to the Domains and DNS API's will error.

Changing CDN's

This version of the API does not support changing the CDN on a Server once the server is created.

Server Overview

An overview of Servers and how they work.

 

Introduction

Each Server configured uses a Cloud Storage backend, a CDN to distribute the data, and an Analytics Provider to collect and analyze analytics data.

The Cloud Storage Provider and the Analytics Providers are configured separately from configuring the Server. The Cloud Storage Provider is required when creating the server, but the Analytics Providers may be set at any time, or not at all.

Server Names

Server names are unique in a global namespace, cannot be changed once created, and cannot be reused if you delete a server. This is done to ensure that names are not reused and traffic for a previous user transferred to a new user. It also allows us to keep accurate analytics for you even after a Server is deleted.

Server names are also used as unique subdomains to access your content. Currently, only Latin Character domains are supported with the characters A through Z and the numbers 0 through 9. Additionally, dashes, and underscores, are also supported. All domains are case insensitive.

Server names cannot have more than 4 dashes or underscores (special characters). Special characters cannot be next to each other and your name cannot start or end with a special character.

Each server is assigned a domain name. This API supports domain names but not the ability to set or change them. As such, domains are typically optional.

Future Domain Support

Future versions of this API will fully support the ability to select and change domain names. In this version of the API, you can include or omit the domain name with each request except for Server Create or Update.

Renaming Servers

Servers cannot be renamed after creation in this version of the API.

Deleted Servers

Once a Server is deleted it cannot be restored. Additionally, the name of the server cannot be reused in this version of the API. Do not casually delete Servers.

Supported CDN

CDN stands for Content Distribution Network and is a global collection of Servers designed to deliver content as quickly as possible to end users. Fast utilizes CDN servers to ensure as Fast of delivery as possible.

The list of available CDN's for a users account is available through the List CDNs API.

International Domain Name Support

This version of the API does not support UTF-8 domain and server names. Do you need support for this? Let Us Know!

Maxium Number of Servers

You may only have a maximum of 128 Servers. Deleted Servers do count against your total count.

Pre Caching and Automatic Updates

Automatic Updates read changes from your storage provider and automatically flush cached data from the CDN. Pre-caching moves data from your storage provider to the CDN cache ahead of any user requests. Pre-caching and automatic updates can be stacked so data is flushed as soon as its updated and re-cached automatically.

If automatic updates are enabled, you must manually flush data when an update is made to cached data.

If pre-caching is disabled, caching of data happens on demand of end-users which may slow the initial request.

Pre Caching Transfer Fees

Normal costs and fees apply to data transfer under pre-caching. These transfers will show up under your account usage as a normal transfer. If you're storing large amounts of data, charges will apply. We make best efforts to only pre-cache data that is changed, and a pre-cache request for data that was already pre-cached usually results in no or minimal additional usage charges.

Pre Caching Analytics

No transfers from pre-caching events will show up in your analytics reports. They will, however, show up in your usage/billing reports.

Server Password

Instructions on how to get a password key for a Server that is password protected.

 

Overview

When a site or server is password protected, you must get a key from the server and set a cookie before submitting any requests to the production URL. The password has no effect on the API itself. All requests without a password cookie being set will result in an access denied response.

Server Object

Passwords are only enabled when a password is set on the Server Object. If no password is set you will get a false response.

Getting a Key

Getting a password key is pretty easy, you just issue an HTTP POST with a URL Encoded Form that contains the proper password.

You always post to the same URL, POST /fst_get_password_key with the HTTP Header Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8 and a body of password=<password>.

This will return the below JSON with either a true or false result. If the password is correct and the format of the request is correct, you will get a true result with a key field. This key field is the usable password for this site.

{
 "result": true,
 "key": "fb38f294272a6af766038b062ae5e25d",
 "text": "Correct password, key returned."
}

Setting the Cookie

Take the value of the key returned and set a cookie for the current domain at the root level with the cookie key fixed to fst_site_key and the cookie value fixed to the key value of the obtained response.

Further Requests

Once the cookie has been set, all subsequent requests should be validated and approved. If you run into any issue, please let us know.

Secure and None Secure

You can set the cookie for either or both, but it must be set for requests to be authenticated.

CloudFlare Object only with CloudFlare

The CloudFlare object is only supplied when the Server is configured to use with the CloudFlare CDN.

General

Server Name Valid Characters

The only characters that are valid for a Server name are a-z, 0-9, _, and -. Names are not case-sensitive.

Names must start and end with a-z or 0-9

Locked Accounts

Server requests to locked, suspended, or disabled accounts will result in 423 Locked responses.

Domain

The domain field is static in this version of the API.

Cloud Storage Provider

A Folder matching the name of the Server will be created on the corresponding Cloud Storage Provider in the Fast Application folder. If one already exists, it will be used.

Precaching

The precaching options are provided to ensure your CDN responds as quickly as possible. If pre-caching is disabled, requests will be cached on demand which will cause the initial request to be slower, but all subsequent requests will be quick.

We offer two different options for pre-caching, metadata only, and metadata and data. The metadata pre-caching stores all data except the actual file, such as file names, folder lists, etc. If you enable precaching with data, all the metadata is cached and the physical data is cached to the edge. This ensures the first request to your CDN is as fast as every subsequent request. As such, normal usage and transfer rates apply, and these transfers will show up in your account usage.

The option precachedata is only applied if precache is enabled, so if you do not enable precache, no pre-caching actions will be taken regardless of the state of precachedata.

See the API for Pre Cache for more information on how pre-caching works.

AutoUpdating

Auto-updating automatically watches the underlying cloud storage provider for changes. When content is changed, all relevant content is flushed so your Server stays in sync with your underlying cloud storage.

This option can be stacked with pre-caching which results in Fast automatically recognizing changes, flushing out changed content, and re-caching it.

See the API for Flushing for more information on how flushing works.

Expires

The expires time is relayed to the end user's browser indicating how long, in seconds, they should cache this content for before revalidating it. Set this to a lower value to ensure end-users revalidate content more often or a high value to cache for long periods of time. The valid range of expires times is 60 seconds to 3 years. Always submit expires time in seconds.

Frequent Updates

If you make frequent updates you should set this value to a lower value. Modern web-browsers will revalidate content before re-requesting it which will limit usage fees if the content has not changed.

Search

When search is true, requests to the Server will return the X-Robots-Tag header will be returned with all, and if it's disabled, the X-Robots-Tag header will be returned with noindex, nofollow.

Password

The password protecting any requests to this server, implemented via HTTP Basic Authentication. If no password is entered, the password protection is disabled. Once a password is entered, password protection is enabled for all URL's on the Server.

Full Server Flush

Changing the server's password will cause a full site flush. Use this setting with caution.

Content Filter Mode

Filtering allows you to include or exclude only certain content from a storage provider which are rendered to a Server. This can help you prevent hidden files that may be synced to your folder from showing up only or only render certain types of content, such as Images.

The mode that is set in filter_mode determines how the filter_regex is interpreted.

When the filter_mode is set to include or exclude, only content matching/missing the filter will be visible.

For example, if your filter finds entries ending in .jpg and your filter is set to include, any requests ending in .jpg will be rendered. All other requests will be excluded.

Consequently, if you use an exclude filter, only entries matching the filter will be excluded, all other entries will be included.

Content Filter

Filters can be an effective tool to eliminate noise either by only including the data you want or by excluding the noise itself. Regular expressions are powerful tools that can be written to exclude or include many types of files or URL's). The regex is applied to the full path excluding the protocol, domain or Server name and domain.

Default Regex: (^\.|^~|.*(\n|\r).*)|(^desktop.ini$|^thumbs\.db|icon\r)

More details on regex available at this Regex guide.

Default Filter

The default filter value is designed to ignore hidden and temporary files that you probably don't want to be accessible through your server and may have been automatically picked up by your syncing client (when using desktop syncing).

Example of blocked files:

.DS_store
.git
~index.html
desktop.ini
thumbs.db
icon\r

By default, all files starting with a . or a ~ are ignored along with specific files as listed above.

Length

The regex used in the filter cannot exceed 384 characters.

Errors

If the Server currently has an error, the error field will be populated with an Error Object. If no error exists, the error field will be null.

Authentication Errors

The most common type of error is a storage authentication error which occurs when we lose access to your cloud storage provider. See Storage Object for more details.

Multiple Errors

In the event there are multiple errors present, only one error object will be returned and it will be the most serious error. If that error is resolved, the next error, by priority, is returned.

Common Errors

Below is a table of the most common errors you might encounter:

Code
Desc

24000

Unable to contact Cloud Storage Provider. Check status page.

24003

Server/CDN has been locked. Contact Support.

Provider Error Codes

In the event, and the underlying platform has an issue, such as the cloud storage provider, or the analytics provider, those errors will be returned. Please reference those objects for error details.

Options Array

There are a few flags that can be set on a configured server.

Performance and Security

There are a number of options available for a Server that affect how content is rendered when it's delivered to the end user. None of these options change, or can ever change, the original content in your Cloud Storage Provider. These features are created and managed by CloudFlare and applied to Servers only when configured.

Performance

Option
Description

minify_html

On-the-fly removal of unnecessary characters from HTML. Saves 20% of a file’s size and works without caching so it can support even fully dynamic pages.

minify_css

On-the-fly removal of unnecessary characters from CSS. Saves 20% of a file’s size and works without caching so it can support even fully dynamic pages.

minify_js

On-the-fly removal of unnecessary characters from Javascript. Saves 20% of a file’s size and works without caching so it can support even fully dynamic pages.

rocket_load

Automatically bundles JavaScript files optimizing your pages to minimize the number of network connections and ensure even third-party resources won’t slow down page rendering.

image_mirage

Mirage accelerates image delivery for your visitors based on their device. Mirage detects screen size and connection speed to optimally deliver images for the current browser window, mobile or desktop.

image_polish

Polish automatically applies both “lossless” and “lossy” image optimization to remove unnecessary bytes from images. On average, image sizes are reduced by 35%.

Security

Option
Description

scrape_shield

ScrapeShield has different elements to help you detect when your content is scraped, defend your site against content scrapers, and even deter content scrapers from targeting you in the first place. If you enable ScrapeShield, we will automatically insert invisible tracking beacons in your content. When automated bots scrape your content, they pull the beacons along with them. we detect these beacons when they ping from sites that aren't your own.

email_obfs

Email addresses on your web page will be obfuscated (hidden) from bots while keeping them visible to humans. In fact, there are no visible changes to your website for visitors. Content must have a MIME type (Content-Type) of "text/html" or "application/xhtml+xml".

Usage Statistics

General information on usage statistics API's.

 

General

Usage statistics are a way to understand costs associated with the account. Analytics should be done through Analytics Object API's.

Logs are delayed anywhere from 5 hours to 24 hours. Analytics reported to 3rd party providers will be available before usage statistics are updated.

The stats API's will automatically calculate the interval in hourly increments based on the period provided. We always attempt to give you 30 results. This value may not always be divisible by hours, and as such, you may get slightly more or less than 30 results.

Requested periods will be rounded to the nearest hours.

Recent stats cover a period of 15 hours in 30-minute increments.

Valid Timeframes

You can request usage timeframes up to 1 year and go back as far as 3 years.

Transfers Object

The transfers object is returned by stats API's to indicate the volume (bytes) and instances (transfers) that occurred during the period (between the start and end times). These stats include any data accumulated due to Pre Cache settings.

Fixed Fields

This object is read-only.

Field
Type
Description

bytes

unsigned integer

The number of bytes transferred or null if no transfers occurred.

transfers

unsigned integer

The number of transfers, including partial or multipart transfers.

Transfer Count

Any HTTP transfer on a file will result in an increment of this transfers field. If a user does a multi-part transfer where they simultaneously download chunks of a file for performance, each part will be counted. Each HTTP or HTTPs connection will count as a transfer.

Reporting to analytics can have transferred from the same user aggregated.

Optional Fields

start

date

The start of the date range for bytes and transfers reporting.

end

date

The end of the date range for bytes and transfers reporting.

Cache Management

General Information about how caching, changes are collecting, how/when flushing occurs, and pre-caching works.

 

The caching API's and functionality are designed to ensure that data stored in your storage cloud are available at the CDN and up to date. There are a wide variety of possible configurations and interactions. As such, this overview focuses only on the core concepts.

Changes

Changes are received from the Cloud Storage providers which allow us to determine if the contents of your CDN has changed. We collect changes while activity is happening before processing them. We may collect changes for an extended period of time if you're making many changes at once. Alternatively, you can manually flush and precache changes if you don't want to wait for us to finish collecting changes automatically.

Once changes are collected, flushing and pre-caching occur as configured.

Flushing

Flushing allows you to delete or "flush" the cache at a given path. That path may be a file or a folder, and it affects all children. In other words, if you flush /, everything on the server will be flushed from the cache.

Flush History is only tracked for the actual object flushed, so if you flush /, the history for any children of / will not reflect when / was flushed. If you want to determine when data was last cached, look at the cached_at field of the File Object or Folder Object.

Flushes are immediately completed in the API at the time of the request, however, may take up to 30 seconds to be visible at the CDN.

If you have pre-caching enabled, flushing a path will generate a pre-caching operation for that path.

PreCaching

Precaching replicates data from your cloud storage to the CDN edge to ensure the first request is as quick as every subsequent request. There are two basic modes for pre-caching, with or without data. If you pre-cache with data, files will be cached to the CDN edge. If you pre-cache without data, only metadata will be cached to the CDN edge.

Sessions

Preaching is done on a session basis where jobs are assigned to a session. Sessions are per-server, as there is only one session for each server. Additional jobs added for a given server will result in the jobs being added to the existing sessions stack.

History

Precache history is kept for 24-hours from the last update of a given Server.

Fees

Standard usage fees apply to pre-caching data.

Limits

Preaching, in this version of the API, will only allow 500 folders and 2,000 files to be preached in a single job. If you have more data that needs to be pre-cached, perform sequential smaller jobs.

Concurrency

Only one pre-cache operation on a Server configuration may be performed at once. If a superseding operation is made, the superseded operation will be canceled and replaced. You can follow the chain of how jobs are replaced by following the preempt field of the Pre Cache Object.

Concurrent Escalation

In the event that there is a conflict between operations, the lowest common path will be used as the pre-cache root. This may cause the entire server to be pre-cached if two different folders in the root of a Server attempt to run concurrent pre-cache jobs.

Automatic Updates

Automatic Updates are triggered when your underlying cloud storage contents are changed. The effect of Automatic Updates is to generate a flush on the changed object set. The flush itself may generate a pre-cache operation.

Precache Size

Precache is limited to 2GiB of data in any given operation. Any data transfers are limited to the first 250MB of data. Please contact us if this poses a problem for you.

Best Efforts

When Pre-caching with data, we make our best effort to not pre-cache data that is already cached and valid. Typically this results in no usage charges when data is already pre-cached.

Changes Object

An object containing job information of pending / recent changes that have been received.

 

This object is used to indicate changes that are being received from a storage provider but have not yet been processed. There is a variable delay in processing based on the cadence of changes to avoid thrashing.

Completed/Stale Jobs TTL

Once jobs are stale or completed, they are kept for up to 1 day after which they are flushed out. Only one job per server configuration is kept. New jobs will over-write previous completed or stale jobs.

Fixed Fields

This object is read-only.

Field

string

The name of the server configuration this job applies to.

domain

string

The domain this configuration is assigned to.

server

last

datetime

The date and time when the last change was received.

updated

datetime

The date and time when the status were last updated which should be at about 1-2 second intervals until a job is completed.

Stale Jobs

Stale jobs may happen from time to time. The next change received will pick up the stale job however if you want the changes to process immediately, call the related Cache Management API's manually.

Remaining Time Changes

When rendering current status for pending changes, note that the remaining time is subject to extensions if the platform determines we should wait long for more changes to settle.

States of Changes Object

There are three basic states to monitor for.

State
Completed
Stale
Desc

Waiting

FALSE

FALSE

We are waiting for additional changes to be received before processing.

Processed

TRUE

FALSE

We have received all changes and have processed them.

Pre Cache Objects

Information on objects used for Pre-caching data to the CDN.

 

Overview

There are two types of objects associated with Pre-Cache work, a session object and a jobs object. Sessions are containers of one or more jobs that can be chained together to propagate a complex series of changes. Sessions are server specific, and while a session is active, any pre-cache jobs that are created for that server will be added to the existing session and processed First in First out (FIFO).

The basic framework of a job is a path and a depth which indicates how many sub-folders deep should be pre-cached.

Session Object

This object is read-only.

Description

202

Result JSON

Variable
Type
Description

result

boolean

true if the precache request was accepted and will be processed.

General

Precaching allows content to be stored at the CDN edge ahead of an end user requests, this ensures all requests, including the first one, are serviced as quickly as possible. If you do not pre-cache data, data will be cached on-demand which will be slower for the first request. Additionally, pre-caching is region specific, so accesses from the specific region may not be preached even if preached in another.

Only one request per server may be processed at a given time, subsequent requests will be queued.

In this version of the API, only Secure HTTP URL's are precached. If you explicitly need pre-caching of non-Secure HTTP URL's, please contact us.

Precache Request

Precache requests are processed asynchronously and in the order, they were added to a session.

Cloud Storage

When contents in the cloud storage change and the provider supports notifications, contents are automatically flushed as needed.

Data Rates Apply

If you specify to pre-cache data, normal charges will be associated with all data pre-cached. In other words, if you have 1GB of data in your cloud storage provider, and you specify to pre-cache the entire path, you will be charged at least 1GB of data plus the size of the headers.

Rate Limited API

This API is rate limited and may result in a 420 response if you call it too frequently.

Depth

See the Pre Cache Object Depth chart for more details on this field.

Domain Overview

General Information about how domains are link to and/or registered, and how domains and subdomains are bound to Servers.

 

The Domain set of API's allows you to use locally or externally registered domains to your Servers. There are several valid scenarios for domains used with Fast.

  1. A locally registered domain.
  2. An externally registered domain you point to the Fast DNS servers.
  3. An externally registered domain with external DNS servers.

Adding a domain to your account will not connect it to any Servers. Once you add a domain to your account, you can then bind it to a Server. You can bind the Apex or any TLD to one or more Servers.

The number of domains you can add may be limited by your plan.

Binding Overview

Binding is the process of attaching a vanity domain (or subdomain) to a server. For example, if you had a Fast server, google.imfast.io and you wanted to link your domain, google.com to it, you would bind google.com to google.imfast.io and google.com would then load the contents of google.imfast.io.

You can bind the apex, as in the example above, or you can bind subdomains. You can bind multiple subdomains to the same Server, such as www.google.com and google.com can both load google.imfast.io. You can also bind multiple subdomains to different servers, such as binding about.google.com to about-google.imfast.io.

The number of domains bindings to a single domain or in your overall account may be limited by your plan.

Binding's Require SSL Certs

Each binding requires an SSL cert, so you must have available SSL certs in your account to create a binding. See your plan and reference SSL Certs for Domains.

DNS

You can add and remove bindings at any time, if DNS is hosted locally, records will be created automatically. If DNS is managed externally, you will need to create the appropriate records. For a subdomain, you will use a CNAME and for the apex (i.e. google.com), you will use an A record.

Registration

Fast supports domain registration directly for a wide variety of TLD's. You can register a domain directly with us and it's automatically configured and paired to your account. There is no requirement to use Fast for domain registration; external DNS is fully supported in the scenarios documented below.

Transfer Out

If you register a domain with us, it will use our public information, not yours. In other words, it will be registered to Fast Technologies. Fast does not provide an endpoint for transferring domains in this version; however, we will assist you in transferring your domain if you contact us via support.

Transfering Domains To Us

You cannot transfer a domain registered from an external domain registrar to Fast. You can still use the domain with Fast though, just configure it as an external domain and point the nameservers to Fast as specified in the Domain Details response.

Globally Unique

Domains are unique to accounts in the global namespace and are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. This is true regardless of if the domain is registered locally or is an external domain.

Domain Conflict

If a domain you own is in use and you are unable to add it to Fast, please contact us ([email protected]) and we'll verify your ownership as well as transfer it to your account.

DNS

Fast supports both internal an external DNS, in other words, you can use our integrated DNS or a 3rd party hosting providers DNS with Fast. There is no charge for DNS on Fast however the number of records you can create may be limited by your plan.

Locally Hosted

You can locally host a domain either by registering it on Fast or by pointing it to our name-servers. If you register a domain on Fast, it's automatically configured with our nameservers. If you already own the domain, you can host its DNS locally by going to your domain registrar and change the configuration to the domain to the nameservers below.

For more information on managing locally hosted DNS, see the DNS Overview.

Externally Hosted

If you already have DNS setup and are not going to host the apex domain with Fast, you can simply create a CNAME record for the subdomain of your domain you wish to host on Fast and point it to a Server you have created. Below is the order of operations:

  1. Create a Server (if one isn't already created).
  2. Add the domain to the server as externally hosted.
  3. Create the CNAME record from your DNS provider to the shared domain name of the Server you created in step 1. (Or if you want to host an Apex, you must use an A record that points to the IP provided by the Binding)

Nameservers

If you want Fast to host the DNS of your domain you will need to set the nameservers to the servers listed in the Domain Details API after you Create Domain.
