## nightly.link (GitHub Actions artifact -> anonymous URL wrapper)

- `storage/nightly-link` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence reported | binding none | category paas
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://nightly.link
- free tier: No quota of its own — it is a public-read proxy over GitHub Actions artifacts, which are themselves uncounted for public repos but capped at 90-day retention. Service is 'provided totally free of charge'. | unit: unlimited | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: No quota of its own — it is a public-read proxy over GitHub Actions artifacts, which are themselves uncounted for public repos but capped at 90-day retention | days: 90 | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: Free. Redirects to productionresultssa*.blob.core.windows.net (Azure Blob, GitHub's artifact store) with a signed URL, so downloads never touch GitHub's HTML front end. | metered: no
- identity: institution
- interface: rest
- limits note: Inherits GitHub artifact TTL (max 90 days for public repos) and the artifact size cap. Anonymous users share one global GitHub API rate limit — the site explicitly warns 'The throttling will likely become very bad over time' unless you install their GitHub App on your repo.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: oprypin/nightly.link, 1011 stars, AGPL, self-hostable (Go). URL grammar is deterministic: https://nightly.link/<owner>/<repo>/workflows/<workflow>/<branch>/<artifact>.zip
- composes with: This is the multiplier that makes GitHub Actions artifacts usable at all: it converts 'artifact behind a login' into 'plain CDN URL'. Combined with unlimited public repos and the 90-day max retention it becomes a rolling 90-day hot tier of unlimited size, refreshed by scheduled workflows.
- reliability: Single-maintainer free service — a single point of failure if you depend on the hosted instance. Self-host it for production use. Rate limiting is the real bite, not storage.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-21: 'Any public repository is accessible by default and visitors don't need to log in'; 'don't share the global API rate limit ... throttling will likely become very bad over time'
  - [2] 2026-10-21: probe: curl -L -> 200, 56909948 bytes downloaded anonymously, redirecting to productionresultssa1.blob.core.windows.net
  - [3] 2026-10-21: 1011 stars
