here.now

Skill version: 1.2

Publish any file or folder to the web and get a live URL back. Static hosting only.

Check for updates

On first use in a session, check if a newer skill version is available:

bash

curl -s https://here.now/api/skill/version

If the returned

version

is higher than 1.2, fetch the latest skill before proceeding:

bash

curl -s https://here.now/skill.md

Let the user know you're updating to the latest version, then continue with their request.

Publish

bash

./scripts/publish.sh <file-or-dir>

Outputs the live URL (e.g.

https://bright-canvas-a7k2.here.now/

).

Without an API key this creates an anonymous publish that expires in 24 hours. With

--api-key

or

$HERENOW_API_KEY

, the publish is permanent.

Update an existing publish

bash

./scripts/publish.sh <file-or-dir> --slug <slug>

The script auto-loads the

claimToken

from

.herenow/state.json

when updating anonymous publishes. Pass

--claim-token <token>

to override.

Authenticated updates require

--api-key

or

$HERENOW_API_KEY

.

State file

After every publish, the script writes to

.herenow/state.json

in the working directory:

json

{
  "publishes": {
    "bright-canvas-a7k2": {
      "siteUrl": "https://bright-canvas-a7k2.here.now/",
      "claimToken": "abc123",
      "claimUrl": "https://here.now/claim?slug=bright-canvas-a7k2&token=abc123",
      "expiresAt": "2026-02-18T01:00:00.000Z"
    }
  }
}

Before publishing, check this file. If the user already has a publish for the same content, update it with

--slug

instead of creating a new one.

What to tell the user

Always share the
```
siteUrl
```
.
For anonymous publishes, also share the
```
claimUrl
```
so they can keep it permanently.
Warn: the claim token is only returned once and cannot be recovered.

Limits

	Anonymous	Authenticated
Max file size	250 MB	5 GB
Expiry	24 hours	Permanent (or custom TTL)
Rate limit	5 / hour / IP	Unlimited
Account needed	No	Yes (get key at here.now)

Getting an API key

To upgrade from anonymous (24h) to permanent publishing:

Ask the user for their email address.
Call the sign-up endpoint to send them a magic link:

bash

curl -sS https://here.now/api/auth/login \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "user@example.com"}'

Tell the user: "Check your inbox for a sign-in link from here.now. Click it, then copy your API key from the dashboard."
Once the user provides the key, pass it with
```
--api-key
```
or set
```
$HERENOW_API_KEY
```
.
