Mega Hono API
🚀 Mega Hono API: File Management Made Easy
📄 What is this project about?
Let’s be honest: working with cloud storage APIs can sometimes feel slow or overly complex. With Mega Hono API, I wanted to build the exact opposite: an ultra-fast, developer-friendly solution.
It is a backend tool that lets you connect your Mega.nz account and perform everyday operations—like uploading, downloading, listing, or deleting files—through a clean and modern interface. It’s perfect for anyone who needs a solid bridge between their app and Mega’s cloud storage.
Why I loved building this:
- Blazing Speed: Thanks to Bun, the API starts up in milliseconds and processes requests almost instantly.
- Living Documentation: If you head over to
/docs, you’ll find an interactive dashboard (powered by Scalar) where you can test the API without writing a single line of code. - Rock-solid Data: I use Zod to ensure every piece of data coming in or out is exactly what we expect, preventing those annoying unexpected crashes.
- Security First: I’ve baked in secure headers and rate limiting to keep the API robust against potential abuse.
The toolkit I used:
- Bun: My go-to runtime for its speed and for having everything I need in one place.
- Hono: A minimalist framework that shines because of its simplicity and power.
- MegaJS: The key piece for communicating directly with Mega’s servers.
- TypeScript: So I can sleep better at night knowing the code is stable and easy to maintain.
My role in the development:
This project was a personal challenge where I built everything from the ground up—from designing the endpoint structure to setting up a professional logging system with Pino. I focused heavily on Developer Experience (DX), making sure that anyone who clones the repo can get it up and running in less than 2 minutes.
Technical Stack:
- Runtime: Bun
- Framework: Hono
- Validation: Zod
- Docs: Scalar (OpenAPI)
- Logging: Pino
🛠️ What can you do with it?
| Action | Endpoint | What does it do? |
|---|---|---|
| List | GET /list-files | See everything you have stored in your account. |
| Upload | POST /upload-file | Send new files to the cloud quickly. |
| Download | GET /download-file | Grab what you need using a simple file hash. |
| Delete | DELETE /delete-file | Keep your storage clean by removing old files. |
