# Public Silo

> Introduction to public silos in JSONsilo

## What is a Public Silo?

A Public Silo in JSONsilo is a storage solution for your JSON files that allows unrestricted access to anyone with the link. Public silos are ideal for sharing non-sensitive data with a wide audience, as they do not require any authentication or access keys.

## Key Features of Public Silos

* **Easy Sharing**: Share your JSON files with anyone by simply providing the link.
* **No Authentication Required**: Public silos do not require users to authenticate or provide access keys.

## Unsupported Features

* **Query and Search**: Advanced querying and searching capabilities are not available for public silos.

## Use Cases

* **Public APIs**: Use public silos to store JSON data for public APIs that do not require authentication.
* **Open Data**: Share open data sets with the community without any access restrictions.
* **Collaboration**: Facilitate collaboration by allowing team members to access shared JSON files without barriers.
* **Documentation**: Host JSON files for documentation purposes that need to be easily accessible to users.

## How to Create a Public Silo

To create a public silo, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Silos dashboard in JSONsilo console.
2. Click on the "Create new Silo" button.
3. Select the "Public" option in the access field.
4. Click "Next: Add JSON Data" button to proceed.
5. Upload or create your JSON file using the JSON Editor.
6. Save the silo to generate a unique URL.

## Accessing a Public Silo

For public silos, you can access the JSON file directly without any authentication headers.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Terminal theme={null}
  curl -X GET \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    https://[region-code].jsonsilo.com/public/[file-uuid]
  ```

  ```javascript main.js theme={null}
  fetch('https://[region-code].jsonsilo.com/public/[file-uuid]', {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
  })
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
  ```

  ```python main.py theme={null}
  import requests

  url = 'https://[region-code].jsonsilo.com/public/[file-uuid]'
  headers = {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }

  response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
  if response.status_code == 200:
      print(response.json())
  else:
      print('Error:', response.status_code)
  ```
</CodeGroup>
