issue trying to change to Mashape Api

[Charles McNall]

I have been trying to convert my image uploading from using api.imgur.com endpoint to the mashape endpoint.

I tried to update the headers to work with both retrofit and also tried to get Unirest to work.

I keep getting  D/Retrofit﹕ {"message":"Invalid Mashape Key"}

I have tried regen the key but still have this error.

I can't even get the unirest version to compile do to an unhandled excemption error.

Anyone know the correct format for Retrofit so the key will work?

Thanks.

Retrofit:

@POST("/3/image")ImageResponse postImage (
    @Header("X-Mashape-Key")String key,
    @Header("Authorization")String auth,
    @Header("Type")String type,
    @Query("title")String title,
    @Query("description")String description,
    @Query("album")String albumId,
    @Query("account_url")String username,
    @Body TypedFile file

response = imgurAdapter.create(ImgurAPI.class)
        .postImage(
                Const.getMashapeAuth(), Const.getClientAuth(), type, title, description, albumId, null, new TypedFile("image/*", image)
        );

public static String getMashapeAuth() {
    return "X-Mashape-Key: " + X_MASHAPE_KEY;
}

Unirest method:

HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = Unirest.post("https://imgur-apiv3.p.mashape.com/3/image")
        .header("X-Mashape-Key", Const.X_MASHAPE_KEY)
        .header("Authorization", Const.getClientAuth())
        .header("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
        .field("album", albumId)
        .field("description", description)
        .field("image", image)
        .field("title", title)
        .asJson();

To those trying to use retrofit this is what i have figured out so far with some help from Imgur staff:

Hi Charles,

Thanks for letting us know about this! It has to be the way the headers are being set. Also, make sure to send the data as form url-encoded data. Here is a working example with cURL and your credentials:

curl -X "POST" "https://imgur-apiv3.p.mashape.com/3/image" \

-H "X-Mashape-Key: <its a secret>" \

-H "Authorization: Client-ID <shhhhhhhh don't tell anyone>" \

--data-urlencode "type=url" \

--data-urlencode "image=http://i.imgur.com/M4ljomh.jpg"

Let me know if I can help further!

So I took that and did the following

now I am receiving "400 Bad request"

"data":{"error":"Image format not supported, or image is corrupt.","request":"\/3\/image\/","method":"POST"},"success":false,"status":400}

Which is better, so now i need to figure out if i can get it to accept a Typed file or a direct local file link from the phone or if i need to convert.

@FormUrlEncoded
@POST("/3/image/")ImageResponse postImage (
    @Header("X-Mashape-Key")String key,// header seems correct type. otherwise 401 auth error
    @Header("Authorization")String auth,
    @Header("type")String type, // unsure if this is necessary
    @Field("title")String title,
    @Field("description")String description,
    @Field("album")String albumId,
    @Field("account_url")String username,
    @Field("image") TypedFile image // unsure on what type of files are acceptable. they are natively .jpg

Log cat like this:

 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
D/Retrofit﹕ Content-Length: 133
D/Retrofit﹕ title=h&description=Get+the+snicKer+app+isnicker.com&image=%2Fstorage%2Femulated%2F0%2FDCIM%2FCamera%2FIMG_20150630_170632739_HDR.jpg
D/Retrofit﹕ ---> END HTTP (133-byte body)

I'll email support again for more help.

anythoughts?

Got it.
Type is: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Post is:

@FormUrlEncoded
@POST("/3/image/")ImageResponse postImage (
@Header("X-Mashape-Key")String key,

@Header("Authorization")String auth,
@Header("Content-Type")String type,

@Field("title")String title,
@Field("description")String description,
@Field("album")String albumId,
@Field("account_url")String username,

@Field("image") String file

requested like:
response = imgurAdapter.create(ImgurAPI.class)
.postImage(
Const.MY_X_KEY_MASHAPE, Const.getClientAuth(),Const.type, title, description, albumId, null , image64
);

And the BIG THING:
convert image to base64 string

try {
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(image);//You can get an inputStream using any IO API
byte[] bytes;
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
int bytesRead;
ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
while ((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
bytes = output.toByteArray();

String image64 = Base64.encodeToString(bytes, Base64.DEFAULT);

}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.i(TAG, "Image file not available");
}

Hope that saves someone some time
