Sirv
Sirv's REST API covers file upload and management, image and video optimization, and URL-based on-the-fly manipulation (resize, crop, format conversion) served through its global CDN, with full reference docs at apidocs.sirv.com. Authentication exchanges an account's API client ID and secret for a short-lived Bearer token via a POST to api.sirv.com/v2/token — a live probe without credentials correctly returned a 400 validation error rather than a network failure, with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * present even on that error response. Pricing follows a freemium model: a free plan covers a small storage/bandwidth allowance, with paid tiers scaling by storage and bandwidth used.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
