Upload keys
Create keys for scripts that upload files to the CDN on their own, like screenshot-basic screenshots, each one locked to a folder.

An upload key is a courier’s badge: it lets a script send files to the CDN with nobody from the staff in the panel, but only into one folder. It’s what screenshot scripts (like screenshot-basic), in-game cameras and report attachments use. This page is for whoever sets up the CDN and the scripts that upload files.

Go to CDN → Settings and scroll to Upload keys (or click Upload keys under “On this page”).
Click New key.
In Name, write what the key is for (for example, “Game camera”). In Uploads to, pick the folder. Tick Can also delete only if the script needs to clean up what it uploaded.
Click Create key.
In the Key created window, click Copy key. The screenshot-basic (Lua) and HTTP (cURL) tabs already have the key in the code; use Copy code. Click Done.
| Field | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Name | So you know which script uses the key. Up to 40 characters. | — |
| Uploads to | The folder where the key’s files land. All files is the CDN’s root. | The screenshots folder, if there is one; otherwise the first folder |
| Can also delete | Lets the script delete the files it uploaded. | Unticked |
| Can | Can’t |
|---|---|
| Upload one file at a time, up to 20 MiB, to its folder | Pick another folder or another server |
| Delete a file it uploaded itself, if it has Can also delete | Delete files uploaded by people or by other keys |
| Upload the formats the CDN accepts | See the file list, change settings or create other keys |
Each key only uploads to its own folder: if it leaks, the damage stays there.
The key starts with fdm_ followed by 64 letters and numbers, like fdm_xxxxxxxx…. It goes in each upload’s Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer fdm_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
See the full examples in Integrations.
| What shows | What it means |
|---|---|
| Name | The key’s Name. |
| Can delete | The key has Can also delete. |
fdm_xxxxxx…xxxxxx · in … | The key’s start and end and the folder it uploads to (“removed folder” if the folder was deleted). |
| … uploads | How many files the key has uploaded. |
| used … / never used | When the key was last used. |
In CDN → Settings → Upload keys, find the key in the list.
Click the trash icon next to it (Revoke …) and confirm with Revoke.
Scripts using this key stop uploading right away. Files already uploaded stay on the CDN.
There’s no rotate button. To replace a key without stopping the script:
Click New key, with the same folder in Uploads to, and copy the key.
Paste the new key into the script and restart it in the server console.
Check that uploads arrive with the new key (its … uploads counter goes up) and revoke the old one.
| Item | Limit |
|---|---|
| Keys per server | 50 |
| Size per file uploaded with a key | 20 MiB |
| Files per upload | 1 |
Uploads with keys count toward the same plan allowances as uploads from the panel. See Usage and limits.
I deleted the key’s folder. What happens?
The key stops uploading (the API answers 404 with “A pasta da chave não está disponível.”). If the folder only went to the trash, restore it. If it was deleted forever, creating a folder with the same name doesn’t bring the key back: create a new key for the new folder.
Can I use the same key in several scripts? You can, but one key per script is better: you can revoke one without stopping the others and see each one’s uploads.
Does a file uploaded with a key get the usual link?
Yes. It lands in the key’s folder and gets the normal public link, https://cdn.fivex.sh/<address>/<folder>/<file>. In the file list, Uploaded by shows “Chave: …”.
