Data Transfer API
Data-transfer and bandwidth maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The time endpoint computes how long a file takes to transfer at a given bandwidth, time = file bits ÷ (rate × (1 − overhead)), accepting sizes in B, KB, MB, GB, TB or the binary KiB/MiB/GiB and rates in bps, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps or bytes-per-second (MB/s), with an optional protocol-overhead allowance, and returns the time in seconds, minutes, hours and a human-readable form. The bandwidth endpoint works backwards: the bandwidth needed to move a file within a target time, in bps, Mbps, Gbps and MB/s. The convert endpoint converts a data size between decimal (1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes) and binary (MiB = 1,048,576) units, or a data rate between bit-rates and byte-rates. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for networking, cloud, backup and streaming app developers, download-time and capacity-planning tools, and dev dashboards. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is transfer time and bandwidth; for media encoding bitrate use a bitrate API.
