CLI / CI
Upload assets
Push images, video, CSS, JS, audio, PDFs, fonts, and static files.
CDN API
Build your own asset delivery workflow
Use the Smooth CDN API to create projects, upload files, publish asset versions, and return optimized CDN URLs from your own backend, scripts, or release jobs.
Example API request
curl https://api.smoothcdn.com/projects \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"Control the same pipeline from code
The API gives your backend, plugin, integration, or release job access to the same asset pipeline used by Smooth CDN CLI.
Automatic
Optimize files
Create image variants, minify CSS / JS, optimize audio, video, and PDFs, compress, and cache.
CDN
Serve CDN URLs
Use stable optimized URLs in your app.
What you can automate
Use the API when asset delivery should happen inside your product, deployment flow, or internal tooling.
Project setup
Create and organize asset containers from your own backend, admin panel, or onboarding flow.
Asset uploads
Push files from scripts, release jobs, CMS workflows, or internal tools without dashboard steps.
Versioned packages
Publish grouped asset versions and mark the active version as latest when a release is ready.
Protected delivery
Apply basic token protection to selected files while keeping normal frontend assets public.
API keys
Authenticate server-side jobs, automation scripts, and CI/CD workflows with bearer tokens.
Custom automation
Build your own deployment flow, plugin, connector, or asset sync process on top of Smooth CDN.
Common API requests
Start with project setup, upload assets from your workflow, then read back CDN-ready files for your app, CMS, or integration.
Create project

Use the CLI for standard deployments. Use the API when asset delivery needs to be part of your own product, customer workflow, CMS integration, or backend automation.
- • Build a custom CMS or marketplace integration
- • Upload customer-generated assets from your backend
- • Generate CDN URLs inside your own admin panel
- • Connect asset delivery with internal release tools
- • Protect selected files with token-based access
