BunnyAPI for BunnyCDN and WordPress

This is not an advertisement nor do I even work for BunnyCDN. This is a short story of two companies collaborating with each other with one focused on what it was built to do, and the other building services utilizing its API.

If you haven't used BunnyCDN, it's a damn good CDN with very affordable pricing and caching around the world that speeds up your website to just mere ms. If you have used it, you already know how great it is, especially the linked hostname feature with free SSL. You can store 1 TB for as little as $5 and completely unlimited scaling, up to the PB.

So I instantly became a fan of BunnyCDN and use it often. With it, I built my own CDN called BinCDN (https://bincdn.com) and I use it for a lot of storage for my other websites to speed them up instead of storing it all on my server, as I also specialize in web hosting (https://wpbubble.com and https://baremetalhost.com) for clients and usually set them up with "unlimited storage space". There is a lot you can do with a CDN service, especially when you feel comfortable using the product and no complaints about the pricing!

As I am a WordPress user, I figured BunnyCDN would have a plugin, which they did. Unfortunately, it lacked a feature many people wanted. Or at least, the feature I needed most: the ability to upload directly from your website. Instead, you had to go to BunnyCDN and upload everything there and then change your settings to point to an accurate hostname from your website.

I spent the past few months pulling and further developing the most useful features from BunnyCDN's API, and I built my own service to compliment BunnyCDN's service, which can help you build your own CDN service with just a few API calls. I decided to take this a step further and developed a WordPress plugin using BunnyAPI.

If you use BunnyCDN, you can now upload your media files directly from your website to BunnyCDN and link them on your website. A huge thanks and appreciation to BunnyCDN for allowing me to build the service and the plugin. This is my first collaboration project with another company. I reached out and asked them if I could develop some web apps to help boost their awesome product. I wouldn't be taking anything away, only complimenting their service. They happily agreed.

Here is what I built.
