No. If you have lost your private key (nsec), we cannot help recover it. Our uploading process does not (from our end) require the private key. We have no way of recovering a lost private key.

A lost or compromised private key would require you to create a new Nostr account and go through subscribing to a new plan.

.jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif, .webp, .mp4, .webm, .ogg, .mov, .wmv, .mkv, .zip, .pdf, .svg, .mp3, .wav

However, your account will automatically fallback to our free service allowing you to still upload 25 images per month in your Nostr client.

Upgrading or downgrading will not impact your stored files. However, if you have exceeded the 50GB limit of the Purple plan and downgrade from the Onyx plan, you will not be able to upload any further files.

We do not moderate our users' uploaded content.

However, we are bound by the laws of our applicable country. Therefore, we will adhere to any valid DMCA, Abuse, or Illegal content complaints regarding user uploads and if deemed necessary will remove such content.

Yes! To upload images to Nostr Media via our API, a Nostr client can:

1. Compute the SHA-256 Hash

Before uploading the file, compute the SHA-256 hash of the image. This hash will be used in the Nostr event tags.

2. Sign the Event

Sign a Nostr event with the following structure:

{
  "kind": 24242,
  "created_at": TIMESTAMP,
  "tags": [
    ["t", "upload"],
    ["x", "SHA-256 hash of the image"]
  ],
  "content": "Uploading blob with SHA-256 hash",
  "pubkey": "USER_PUBLIC_KEY"
}
3. Make the Upload Request

Send a POST request to https://nostrmedia.com/upload with the signed event in the Authorization header and the media file in the body. 

POST /upload
Authorization: Nostr BASE64_ENCODED_SIGNED_EVENT

FormData:
  file: MEDIA_FILE

The API is based on Blossom and also accepts PUT and OPTIONS headers. Nostr Media is also NIP-96 compatible.

This is Nostr

Nostr represents a streamlined protocol that facilitates the creation of a social network that resists censorship on a global scale. Here's a deeper dive into what makes Nostr stand out:

At its core, Nostr hinges on the use of straightforward and adaptable event objects, formatted as raw JSON, paired with conventional elliptic-curve cryptographic methods for key management and message signing. Communication is exclusively conducted over websocket connections between the client and relay nodes. This simplicity bolsters the ease of developing clients and relays, encouraging a rich diversity of software.

Nostr's architecture circumvents dependency on a centralized cluster of servers for data transit or storage, enhancing its robustness. The system is designed with the expectation that relays may come and go, thus permitting users to freely publish to and switch between an array of relays as they see fit.

With public-key cryptography at the heart of Nostr user accounts, the authenticity of messages can be confirmed with ease, ensuring they originate from the claimed sender.

Nostr stands as a foundational protocol, akin to HTTP or TCP/IP—an open standard that allows for broad, collaborative development. Distinctly, Nostr is neither an app nor a service requiring signup.


The need for Nostr

In today's landscape, social media is a crucial conduit for the flow of information worldwide. Yet, the prevailing systems of social media are fraught with issues:
