Imgur.API
Imgur.API is a .NET implementation of Imgur's API.
Getting Started
Register Client
Register your App at https://api.imgur.com/oauth2/addclient
Creating an ApiClient
var apiClient = new ApiClient("YOUR_CLIENT_KEY");
Using OAuth
Getting an Authorization Url
The Authorization Url should be loaded in a browser, allowing the user to login to Imgur.
var apiClient = new ApiClient("YOUR_CLIENT_KEY", "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET");
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var oAuth2Endpoint = new OAuth2Endpoint(apiClient, httpClient);
var authUrl = oAuth2Endpoint.GetAuthorizationUrl();
Once user has logged in, they are redirected to your previously set Url. Once the token information is available and parsed create a token.
var token = new OAuth2Token
{
AccessToken = "YOUR_TOKEN",
RefreshToken = "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN",
AccountId = YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID,
AccountUsername = "YOUR_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD",
ExpiresIn = YOUR_EXPIRATION,
TokenType = "YOUR_TOKEN"
};
Then set the token on the ApiClient.
apiClient.SetOAuth2Token(token);
Continue to use the rest of the Endpoints.
var imageEndpoint = new ImageEndpoint(apiClient, httpClient);
Uploading Images & Video
Uploading Image
var apiClient = new ApiClient("YOUR_CLIENT_KEY");
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var filePath = "PATH_TO_YOUR_IMAGE";
using var fileStream = File.OpenRead(filePath);
var imageEndpoint = new ImageEndpoint(apiClient, httpClient);
var imageUpload = await imageEndpoint.UploadImageAsync(fileStream);
Uploading Video
var apiClient = new ApiClient("YOUR_CLIENT_KEY");
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var filePath = "PATH_TO_YOUR_IMAGE";
using var fileStream = File.OpenRead(filePath);
var imageEndpoint = new ImageEndpoint(apiClient, httpClient);
var imageUpload = await imageEndpoint.UploadVideoAsync(fileStream);
Uploading Video with Progress
var apiClient = new ApiClient("YOUR_CLIENT_KEY");
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var uploadProgress = new Progress<int>(report);
var filePath = "PATH_TO_YOUR_IMAGE";
using var fileStream = File.OpenRead(filePath);
var imageEndpoint = new ImageEndpoint(apiClient, httpClient);
var imageUpload = await imageEndpoint.UploadVideoAsync(fileStream, progress: uploadProgress);
void report(int byteProgress)
{
//Do something with the progress here.
}
