# Check an ISO download link

> ### Overview

Checks a URL's file name, type and size, and estimates its effect on the account's ISO storage usage. The file is not downloaded or saved. `quota.would_exceed` uses the same storage limit check as `POST /api/v1/client/isos`.

### Permissions

Requires the `iso.read` (View ISO images) permission for the selected team. Resources outside that team return 404.



## OpenAPI

````yaml https://console.advinservers.com/docs/openapi.json post /isos/query-link
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: API reference
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Use this API to manage your team's servers, networks, backups, and other
    resources.


    ## Authentication


    Create an API key under **API Keys** and send it as a bearer token with
    every request:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}

    Accept: application/json

    ```


    Copy the key when you create it. It cannot be shown again. Revoking a key
    takes effect immediately.


    ## Permissions


    Give each key only the permissions it needs. Every endpoint lists the
    required permission.


    Permissions cover servers and other resources in the key's team.


    ## Team scope


    A key can access resources in the team selected when it was created. This
    includes servers,

    snapshots, backups, firewall groups, images, SSH keys, scripts, networks and
    addresses.

    Resources in other teams return `404 Not Found`. Create a separate key for
    each team.


    The key determines the team for every request. Legacy keys that had no team
    are assigned

    to the account's first owned team.


    ## Actions that need the panel


    API keys cannot do the following, even with every permission. Sign in to the
    panel in a

    browser to do them:


    - Create, edit or revoke API keys

    - Edit the IP groups that restrict API keys

    - End signed-in sessions

    - Change two-factor authentication

    - Change the account's email address

    - Accept or decline team invitations

    - Switch or leave a team


    This keeps a leaked key from widening its own access or locking you out of
    your account.


    ## Source IP restrictions


    A key can be restricted to one or more IP groups. Requests from other
    addresses are rejected.


    ## Requests and responses


    Each endpoint lists its path, query, header, and body parameters. Examples
    use fictional data.


    Single records use JSON objects. Collections use JSON arrays unless the
    endpoint supports pagination. Timestamps use ISO 8601 in UTC.


    Error responses include `message`. Validation errors also include an
    `errors` object for each field. Each endpoint lists its status codes.


    ## Audit log


    Every API request, including reads, is recorded in the account audit log
    with the key that made it.
