Upload, browse, download, and delete the files you use with Tamarind. You can manage files in the app or through the API. Files in your account can be used as inputs to jobs, including PDB, CIF, and SDF files. Outputs from your previous jobs are stored in your account too, so you can use them in a new job without downloading and re-uploading them.

Manage files with the API

You can upload, list, and delete files with the API. Every request uses your API key in the x-api-key header. You can find your key under API key on the My Results page. For authentication, rate limits, and every other endpoint, see the full API documentation.

Upload a file — PUT /upload/{filename}

Uploads a file to your account’s root folder. Add the optional folder parameter to upload it to a folder instead.
Returns 200 on success, 400 for a bad request, or 500 for a server error.
You don’t always have to upload a file. You can pass the file’s contents directly in your job settings in place of a file path.

List files — GET /files

Lists the files in your account.

Delete files — DELETE /delete-file

Deletes one file, or every file in a folder. Provide either filePath or folder, not both.
Returns 200 on success, 400 for a bad request, 404 if the file or folder isn’t found, 405 if the method isn’t allowed, or 500 for a server error.
