# Neocities C API
Minimal, secure C wrapper for the Neocities API using API key authentication.
No login flow.
No credential storage.
Stateless by design.
Users must generate their own API key via the Neocities dashboard.
---
## Features
* Site info retrieval
* File listing
* Upload files
* Delete files
* TLS verification enabled by default
Authentication is performed exclusively via:
```
Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>
```
---
## Requirements
* libcurl
Linux (example):
```
sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev
```
---
## Authentication
Generate your API key at:
Neocities > Settings > Manage Site Settings > API
(or https://neocities.org/settings/YOUR-USERNAME#api_key)
If you're coding a CLI or application, you must provide the key at runtime (env var, config file, etc).
---
## API Overview
Just an overview. For more detailed information, see: [[Function-Guide.md]]
### Info (public)
```c
int neocities_info(const char *sitename, neocities_info_t *out);
```
Fetch metadata about a site.
---
### List files
```c
int neocities_list(const char *api_key,
const char *path,
neocities_filelist_t *out);
```
List files at a path.
---
### Upload
```c
int neocities_upload(const char *api_key,
const char **local_files,
const char **remote_names,
size_t count,
char **response);
```
Uploads multiple files.
* `local_files[i]` → local path
* `remote_names[i]` → remote filename
---
### Delete
```c
int neocities_delete(const char *api_key,
const char **filenames,
size_t count,
char **response);
```
Deletes files from the site.
---
### API Key
For security reasons, you should get the API key via Neocities settings. This function is not avaiable.
---
## Memory Management
Always free parsed outputs:
```c
void neocities_free_info(neocities_info_t *info);
void neocities_free_filelist(neocities_filelist_t *list);
```
`response` returned by upload/delete must also be freed by caller.
---
## Example Usage
### List files
```c
neocities_filelist_t list;
if (neocities_list(api_key, "/", &list) == 0) {
for (size_t i = 0; i < list.count; i++)
printf("%s\n", list.paths[i]);
neocities_free_filelist(&list);
}
```
---
### Upload
```c
const char *local[] = {"index.html"};
const char *remote[] = {"index.html"};
char *resp;
neocities_upload(api_key, local, remote, 1, &resp);
free(resp);
```
---
## Security Notes
* TLS verification is enforced
* Redirects are disabled intentionally
* API key is never persisted internally
Recommended:
* Store key in env vars
* Avoid hardcoding
---
## Design Philosophy
* No login/password support
* API key only
* Explicit memory ownership
* Minimal abstraction
---
## Future Extensions (Optional)
Possible areas to explore:
* Structured responses for upload/delete
* JSON passthrough mode
* Streaming uploads
* Error codes standardization
