Hi, I'm programming a link checker, I'm at the part where get the informacion with each link (size, name, size, status, etc).

Before using the tester did links on each page ( and then extracting the data with regular expressions):
Code: 
http://www.fileserve.com/link-checker.php
http://www.filesonic.com/link-checker
http://www.wupload.com/link-checker
But I've seen some hosts provide their API, and the Curl runtime is considerably reduced :) for example:
Code: 
http://api.filesonic.com/link#FSApi_Link-getInfo
http://api.wupload.com/user#FSApi_Link-getInfo
http://megaupload.com/mgr_linkcheck.php
Know someone else who also provide your api?, fileserve.com and uploaded.to and the other host.

Thanks in advance ;)

Not every filehost has an API. Or if they do, they don't reveal it publicly because they want to use it internally, only.

Your best bet is contacting Fileserve and Uploaded.to and asking them if they have an API that you could, as a developer, use for your scripts/programs.
 
Rapidshare provide API too and really well documented.

And for fileserve or other host you can check source code of jdownloader.
 
The web is the api
BTW, I don't think there will be a lot of difference, in terms of execution time.
Probably a couple of Microseconds.

Because you see, when you GET a page, you only get the main Resource page and other Large resources like Images,CSS, JS are not downloaded.
 
OMG fsc provie api!? I did not know that, i always parsed the webpage like a monkey! GRRR :((. Not that it was wasted time, but i see i could done it much easier.
 
Well, thanks for your answers.
I will try to contact some of the hosting, but I do not think provide your API (if they had it) ;)
thanks
 
Some of the api sites don't work that well for me.
Sites like filesonic sometimes give me servers that aren't even close to the vps i run the upload from. With curl I can at least choose which s### server to upload to.
