userHash := "" // optional

url, err := catbox.UploadFile(fileBuffer, fileName, timeout, userHash)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Upload failed: %v", err)
}
fmt.Println("Uploaded to CatBox:", url)

Uploading a File to LitterBox

fileBuffer := bytes.NewBuffer(yourFileBytes)
fileName := "example.txt"
duration := "24h" // Options: '1h', '12h', '24h', '72h', '1w'
timeout := 10 * time.Second

url, err := catbox.UploadToLitterBox(fileBuffer, fileName, duration, timeout)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatalf("Upload failed: %v", err)
}       
fmt.Println("Uploaded to LitterBox:", url)
