The platform also includes features for security, such as DDoS protection and WAF (Web Application Firewall) capabilities, and offers integration options for various content management systems and development workflows. Developers can interact with Bunny.net services through an API, which is documented with cURL examples, and a web console for management.

Getting started

To get started with Bunny.net, you would typically create an account, set up a storage zone, and then link it to a CDN pull zone. This example demonstrates how to create a storage zone and upload a file using the Bunny.net API with cURL, which is a common way to interact with the platform programmatically. For this example, replace YOUR_API_KEY, YOUR_STORAGE_ZONE_NAME, and YOUR_REGION with your actual credentials and desired settings.

# 1. Create a Storage Zone (if you haven't already)
# This step typically happens via the web console or a more complex API call
# For simplicity, we assume a storage zone is already created and you have its name.

# 2. Upload a file to Bunny Storage using cURL
# Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your Storage API Key
# Replace 'YOUR_STORAGE_ZONE_NAME' with the name of your storage zone
# Replace 'your-file.txt' with the path to your local file
# Replace 'path/on/bunny/storage/remote-file.txt' with the desired remote path and filename

curl -X PUT \
  -H "AccessKey: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  --data-binary "@your-file.txt" \
  "https://storage.bunnycdn.com/YOUR_STORAGE_ZONE_NAME/path/on/bunny/storage/remote-file.txt"

echo "\nFile upload request sent. Check Bunny.net dashboard for status."

# Example: Create a dummy file for upload
echo "Hello, cloudpicker! This is a test file." > your-file.txt

# After uploading, the file would be accessible via your CDN pull zone URL.
# For example, if your CDN hostname is 'your-cdn-hostname.b-cdn.net',
# the file would be at 'https://your-cdn-hostname.b-cdn.net/path/on/bunny/storage/remote-file.txt'

This cURL command uploads a local file named your-file.txt to your specified Bunny Storage zone. Once uploaded, if a CDN pull zone is configured to point to this storage zone, the file will be cached and delivered via the CDN. Further details on API usage and configuration for specific services are available in the Bunny.net documentation.
