Installation

The cloudinary_java library is available in Maven Central. To use it, add the following dependency to your pom.xml :

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.cloudinary</groupId>
    <artifactId>cloudinary-http45</artifactId>
    <version>1.38.0</version>
</dependency>

Alternatively, download cloudinary_java from here and here and see build.gradle for library dependencies.

Usage

Setup

Each request for building a URL of a remote cloud resource must have the cloud_name parameter set. Each request to our secure APIs (e.g., image uploads, eager sprite generation) must have the api_key and api_secret parameters set. See API, URLs and access identifiers for more details.

Setting the cloud_name, api_key and api_secret parameters can be done either directly in each call to a Cloudinary method, by when initializing the Cloudinary object, or by using the CLOUDINARY_URL environment variable / system property.

The entry point of the library is the Cloudinary object.

Cloudinary cloudinary = new Cloudinary();

Here's an example of setting the configuration parameters programatically:

Map config = new HashMap();
config.put("cloud_name", "n07t21i7");
config.put("api_key", "123456789012345");
config.put("api_secret", "abcdeghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz12");
Cloudinary cloudinary = new Cloudinary(config);

Another example of setting the configuration parameters by providing the CLOUDINARY_URL value to the constructor:

Cloudinary cloudinary = new Cloudinary("cloudinary://123456789012345:abcdeghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz12@n07t21i7");

Transform and Optimize Assets

  • See full documentation Any image uploaded to Cloudinary can be transformed and embedded using powerful view helper methods:

The following example generates the url for accessing an uploaded sample image while transforming it to fill a 100x150 rectangle:

cloudinary.url().transformation(new Transformation().width(100).height(150).crop("fill")).generate("sample.jpg");

Another example, emedding a smaller version of an uploaded image while generating a 90x90 face detection based thumbnail:

cloudinary.url().transformation(new Transformation().width(90).height(90).crop("thumb").gravity("face")).generate("woman.jpg");

You can provide either a Facebook name or a numeric ID of a Facebook profile or a fan page.

Embedding a Facebook profile to match your graphic design is very simple:

cloudinary.url().type("facebook").transformation(new Transformation().width(130).height(130).crop("fill").gravity("north_west")).generate("billclinton.jpg");

File upload

Assuming you have your Cloudinary configuration parameters defined (cloud_name, api_key, api_secret), uploading to Cloudinary is very simple.

The following example uploads a local JPG to the cloud:

cloudinary.uploader().upload("my_picture.jpg", ObjectUtils.emptyMap());

The uploaded image is assigned a randomly generated public ID. The image is immediately available for download through a CDN:

cloudinary.url().generate("abcfrmo8zul1mafopawefg.jpg");

# http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/abcfrmo8zul1mafopawefg.jpg

You can also specify your own public ID:

cloudinary.uploader().upload("http://www.example.com/image.jpg", ObjectUtils.asMap("public_id", "sample_remote"));

cloudinary.url().generate("sample_remote.jpg");

# http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/sample_remote.jpg
