Free tier	no account; 100 MB per file unit MB; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Limits	per-object-cap (binding) 100 MB per file source per-object-cap (binding) 100 MB/file source 100 MB/file; expires in 60 minutes (page rendered 'File expires in 59 minutes'). 10-upload burst all 200.
Identity	institution (inferred, not read) not published
Egress	unmetered; byte path requires a signed token scraped from the landing page
Per-object cap	100 MB per file (100000000 bytes)
Retention	not stated
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	POST /api/v1/upload -F file=@x -> JSON; then GET the /dl/<token>/<id>/<name> URL extracted from the HTML
Composes with	none — 1-hour retention, no accounts.
Reliability	Textbook trap candidate: the API's own returned URL does NOT serve bytes. You must make a second request, scrape a timestamp+hash-signed /dl/ URL, and use that — and the signature expires. Also the API host did not resolve on this machine's DNS (0.0.0.0 answer); needed --resolve. Many resolvers/ISPs sinkhole it.

probe reported	POST /api/v1/upload -> 200 {"url":"https://tmpfiles.org/wLA4MTMv84dY/probe.bin"}. GET that URL -> 200 but 2792 B text/html. GET /dl/<id>/<name> -> 200, 2792 B text/html. Only the SIGNED URL parsed out of that HTML (https://tmpfiles.org/dl/1792600426.d39cd846db4b4014/wLA4MTMv84dY/probe.bin) -> 200, 32768 B, sha256 MATCH.
