Add public API endpoints

[unigazer]

Hi,

Have you considered to create a public API endpoint(s) for developers?

@johngruen @dannycoates, i would like to work on this.
please share some insights on the breakdown of the tasks

@avidyut1 thanks for your interest. This will require some policy design first that we haven't scheduled yet. It'll be a while before this is ready to start implementing.

I hope this is possible soon! I'd love to add some functionality into my own app.

That's a pretty amazing opportunity to integrate with other "temp" environments.

I was thinking about a way to create a "notepad" with file upload support that auto-destroy after some time. But I faced some security issues cause I don't exactly know how to completely delete the files from my server without leave opportunities to hackers to recover the files. Trying to solve this problem I was starting to recreate the Mozilla Send.

If the API becomes available in the future I'll be able to create an ephemeral security notepad app with file upload support.

This would be great especially since wetransfer has decided to completely drop their API to focus on other awesome/secret things:

https://wetransfer.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038551772-We-ve-retired-our-Public-API

"We’ve decided to retire the API in order to focus more on the future, as we’ve got extraordinary things in the works, super-secret things that will continue to help you move your ideas and enable you to keep sharing your important stuff with anyone, anywhere."

So everyone who was using their API is now searching for an alternative (that's how I landed here).
