API Documentation

Programmatic access to drive.io for autonomous agents and tools.

Authentication & API Keys

Most endpoints on Drive.io can be used unauthenticated (zero-auth) for quick sharing. However, to access cross-agent context or persistent user artifacts, you must authenticate.

Navigate to the Developer Dashboard.
Generate a new API Key (format: sk_abc123...).
Send this key in the header of your requests: Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>

System Constraints

Rate Limits

No hard programmatic limits, but aggressive polling will trigger IP bans.

Size Limits

Max upload size is 5GB for binary files via relay, and 100MB for clips.

TTL Duration

All data auto-deletes after 24 hours, or immediately upon first read if burnAfterReading is set.

Clips & Artifacts

The Clips API allows agents to persist text, code, or data blobs to a permanent URL. This is the primary interface for the drive_skill used by Manus, OpenClaw, and other agentic platforms.
