How to upload images to imgur and get image URL?

[Chris Chen]

Hello , everyone

I want to upload images to imgur.com and get image URL , how can i do?

Or have other better image storage methods?

Because fusion table can only save the image URL

help~

As far as I can see, imgur has an extensive API you can use. Look here: https://apidocs.imgur.com/
Study them, and come back with questions, or even better, solutions.

Chris: I did some studying for you, but it does not seem to be very simple. All the docs from Imgur that I tried to follow are either outdated or don't work.
I am out of time for this now. You can study what a Rest API and follow Taifun's advice. If you think that Rest API has to do something with sleeping, then maybe give this up for now.
There are other ways to upload images to a website of your own. Search this forum and you will find some interesting threads.

I try this way,account verification appears to be successful

I used the extension to convert the image to base64,because imgur seems to only accept this format.

But the response content is

{"data":{"error":"No image data was sent to the upload api","request":"\/3\/image","method":"POST"},"success":false,"status":400}

Is the post method wrong?

Thanks for your help

App Inventor does not support multipart/form-data

in case this is the only way to upload files to imgur, then it's not possible in App Inventor

So sad

Is there any other way to upload a picture to a database?
