Bunny.net+BunnyAPI

FAQ

Q: What does Bunny.net+BunnyAPI do?
A: BunnyAPI extends the functionality of Bunny.net to upload files to your storage zone and serve them directly from your website via Bunny.net.

Q: Can I use BunnyAPI without a plan?
A: You will need to create an account, a pullzone, and a storage zone at Bunny.net.com and then you will need sign up for an API key at BunnyAPI.com in order to use BunnyAPI and Bunny.net together.

Q: Is BunnyAPI free?
A: BunnyAPI.com requires registration of your API key which you will need to obtain at Bunny.net.com. BunnyAPI.com is a separate third-party entity with its own pricing rates apart from Bunny.net.com. Both services are not free and have separate pricing plans.

Q: Can I change the default Bunny.net link to a custom domain?
A: Absolutely. To do this, you must add your CNAME host and records at Bunny.net.com. You should ensure you can view or access your files at this domain location. (example: www.bunnyapi.com/bunnyapi-logo.jpg) Next, you will update the hostname on the Settings page. If no hostname is set, BunnyAPI will use your default Bunny.net hostname.

Q: How much storage space do I have?
A: Bunny.net.com provides you with an unlimited amount of storage space and charges based on a pay-as-you-go system, offering very affordable pricing, but you can set limitations within the Zone settings.

Q: Will my original files be deleted after they are uploaded?
A: Since you are not uploading directly to the Media Library, no files will ever be stored on your server longer than they need to be.

Q: Will BunnyAPI delete files from Bunny.net if I delete them on WordPress?
A: Deleting files from your Bunny.net Media Library on WordPress will delete them from your Bunny.net storage zone.

Q: Will my files be deleted if I delete them from Bunny.net?
A: If you delete your files directly from Bunny.net.com, they will no longer show up in the Bunny.net Media Library on your website.

Q: Can I change the upload folder?
A: You may change the folder to anything you want.
Note: Changing it will not automatically move any files from the old folder to the new folder.

Another thing to note is that you cannot have a blank upload folder, as BunnyAPI does not support root uploading through the plugin.

Q: Can I upload the WordPress Media Library?
A: Absolutely! From the BunnyAPI settings screen, click on «Export to Bunny.net Media Library» and let BunnyAPI go to work.
Depending on the size of your library, it could take a while.

If the script times out, you will need to increase numbers for:
max_execution_time, max_input_time, memory_limit, post_max_size, upload_max_filesize

Q: Can I add a date to the folder structure?
A: This is not currently possible.

Q: I have multiple subfolders but they aren’t showing.
A: BunnyAPI does not currently read recursively into directories.

Q: Can I upload files to subdirectories?
A: Absolutely, for example, you could have uploads/2021/01 or uploads/memes.

Q: Can I set a pre-existing folder that already has files in it on Bunny.net?
A: Absolutely. Just set the folder and BunnyAPI will load anything within the root of that folder.

Q: Will BunnyAPI work with Gutenberg?
A: BunnyAPI will work with Gutenberg, but not directly. In other words, you will simply insert a new block, add media, and insert from URL. Or you can paste the img shortcode into the post or page directly.

Q: How do I make my images faster?
A: Bunny.net is a CDN that provides speedy images through servers worldwide, but if you want to speed up your images even further, we highly recommend that in your Pull Zone settings, under Caching, change your Cache Expiration Time and Browser Cache Expiration Time time to Override: 1 year.
Visit the bunnycdn blog for more recommendations.

Q: Does my website need to be secure?
A: It is highly recommended that you use a secure website and force SSL on your storage zone. Trying to display secure images from an unsecure website or vice versa may result in odd browser behavior from the browser. However, having a non-secure website will still display images.

Q: My images are not showing up for my custom domain.
A: You should have covered at least two steps in order to link to your custom domain.
1) You will need to go to your Pull Zone settings in Bunny.net and link a hostname.
2) Once you have linked the hostname, navigate to your domain registrar or host and add the CNAME Record. (Type: CNAME Name: cdn Value: *.b-cdn.net * = Bunny.net Pullzone Name (or hostname))

Changes may take up to 10 minutes or more to go in effect.

Q: My images are not appearing in Bunny.net Media.
A: Ensure that your hostname is properly set, the proper folder is set, there are actually files within the folder, or try clearing the Bunny.net cache.

Q: Does BunnyAPI alter my images?
A: Unlike WordPress which may scale down large images, BunnyAPI does not alter your images in any way and will upload them directly to your BunnycDN Storage zone.
Note: Upon importing your Bunny.net Media Library to your WordPress Media Library, WordPress native functions may scale your images.

Q: Why does it take long to upload or delete files?
A: It depends on your server connection to BunnyAPI, but it may take several minutes to upload or delete multiple files. It is advisable not to upload more than 20 files at a time.

Q: Does BunnyAPI use any tracking?
We record every API call to ensure quality and debugging purposes in case something goes wrong, including the BunnyAPI key, the action, the URL submitted, and the IP address of the server that the request came from.

BunnyAPI does not track any additional information about your website or visitors.

Q: Can you explain what everything is on the Settings page?
A: Absolutely.
