For AI agents & automation

One HTTP call. Live URL.

Deploy from any AI agent with zero authentication. Post a file, get a temporary live URL, then claim it to keep it.

Deploy in seconds

No API key. No login. No config file. The live URL is a 72-hour preview; the response includes a claim link to keep it.

bash

curl -X POST https://api.zerodeploy.dev/drop \
  -H "Content-Type: text/html" \
  --data-binary @index.html

json

{
  "data": {
    "url": "https://shy-hill-9433.zerodeploy.app",
    "claim_token": "zdr_a1b2c3d4...",
    "expires_at": "2026-09-28T12:00:00Z",
    "is_temporary": true
  },
  "next_steps": {
    "redeploy": { "method": "POST", "url": "/drop", "headers": { "X-Claim-Token": "zdr_..." } },
    "claim": {
      "description": "Keep this temporary site after its 72-hour preview ends. Sign in to claim it.",
      "url": "https://dashboard.zerodeploy.dev/drop-claim?token=zdr_...&url=https%3A%2F%2Fshy-hill-9433.zerodeploy.app"
    }
  }
}

Works with every AI agent

Any agent that can make HTTP requests can deploy to ZeroDeploy.

Claude Code

Claude Code can deploy directly using the CLI or the Drop API. Tell it to "deploy this site" and it handles the rest.

prompt

Build a landing page for my coffee shop and deploy it to ZeroDeploy.dev

Cursor

Cursor can call the Drop API to deploy your project. Use --json output for structured results it can parse.

bash

cd dist && tar -czf ../site.tar.gz . && \
curl -X POST https://api.zerodeploy.dev/drop \
  -H "Content-Type: application/gzip" \
  --data-binary @../site.tar.gz

ChatGPT

ChatGPT can generate HTML and deploy it with one HTTP call. Pipe the output directly without creating a file first.

bash

echo "<html><body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>" | \
curl -X POST https://api.zerodeploy.dev/drop \
  -H "Content-Type: text/html" \
  --data-binary @-

Any Custom Agent

The Drop API is a single HTTP endpoint. Any language, any framework, any agent.

python

import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.zerodeploy.dev/drop",
    headers={"Content-Type": "text/html"},
    data=open("index.html", "rb"),
)
result = resp.json()
print(result["data"]["url"])
print(result["next_steps"]["claim"]["url"])

Three ways to publish

Pick the one that fits your workflow.

Drop API

One-off deploys, zero setup. Best for "deploy this now."

No authentication
Single HTTP call
72h ephemeral (claim to keep)
Single file or tar.gz

Dashboard upload

A finished website you want to keep, without a terminal.

Account-backed hosting
Drag in a folder
Permanent site after trial signup
No terminal required

CLI Deploy

Ongoing projects, full features. Best for "set up a site I'll maintain."

GitHub OAuth login
Incremental deploys
Permanent sites
Custom domains, CI/CD, rollbacks

Built for AI discovery

Everything agents need to find and use ZeroDeploy automatically.

llms.txt

Machine-readable docs at /llms.txt. Agents can discover Drop automatically when reading your site.

JSON Output

Every CLI command supports --json for structured output. Exit codes (0-7) tell agents exactly what happened.

OpenAPI Spec

Full API specification for tool integration. Agents can generate typed clients from the spec.

Agent Skills

Install @zerodeploy/agent-skills for deploy, rollback, setup, and status tools.

Redeploy Flow

Drop returns a claim token. Agents can redeploy to the same URL without re-creating the site.

Claim to Keep

Drop sites are ephemeral (72h). Claim to move one into your account, then start a 14-day Starter trial to deploy updates (card required; no charge today). Includes custom domains, analytics, and CI/CD.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Drop API require authentication?

No. POST your files to /drop and get a live URL back. No API key, no login, no account needed. Sites expire after 72 hours unless claimed.

What file formats does Drop accept?

Single files of any type (HTML, PDF, images) via their native Content-Type, or multi-file sites as a tar.gz archive. If it can be served over HTTP, Drop can host it.

How do I update a deployed site?

The initial response includes a claim_token. Send it as an X-Claim-Token header on subsequent POST requests to redeploy to the same URL.

What happens after 72 hours?

Unclaimed sites are deleted. To move a site into your account, claim it with a ZeroDeploy account. Start a 14-day Starter trial (card required; no charge today) to deploy updates. Claimed sites get all platform features: custom domains, analytics, forms, and CI/CD.

Is there a size limit?

Drop accepts up to 100 MB per deploy (matching the Starter plan). Single files up to 50 MB, tar.gz archives up to 100 MB uncompressed.

Which AI agents work with ZeroDeploy?

Any agent that can make HTTP requests. Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Devin, and custom agents all work. ZeroDeploy also publishes llms.txt for automatic discovery.
