Server settings includes the max file size and some basics. because it will be good for development purpose and better than scraping.

@MayankFawkes there's no API showing the server configuration. can you clarify what benefit such endpoint would bring for development purpose? I assume that if you are developing you are running your own instance and so you know what's the server setup.

Lets say i am building my some file sharing system with transfer.sh, since there are alot people using transfer.sh backend on public domain with different server settings, this might be useful to verify the file size before uploading the file. It might not sound useful for now but people will create use-cases as it becomes available like it is useful for me if i am making some cloud services and people want to use their own custom transfer.sh server i/we can easily see what kind of server is that and the basic limitations without revealing some critical information
