Setting up the Imgur API credentials

Main article: Imgur API Credentials

It is obligated for the bot to function to set up the Imgur API credentials. Without this, the bot will not be able to function.
The keys for both the Imgur Api credentials and the Discord token are stored in a file named keys.txt which can be found in the same folder as the application executable. Should it be necessary to look them up or replace them, it can be done outside of the application as well by opening it with a text editor. For these changes to apply, the application needs to be restarted. If this file is deleted, the Api credentials will have to be given again.

Setting up the Discord token

Main article: Discord token

It is highly recommended to setup a discord bot account for the Prodosía application:

  • Keep subscriptions and unsubscriptions in a central place.
  • Maintain automated archives for specified taglists.
  • Significantly faster response times than through imgur comments.

Logging in to imgur.com

After the application is opened and the Imgur API credentials have been set up, the application will request for a login. Any comments posted by the bot will be posted via this account.
Another file in the application folder, cookie.txt pertains to a cookie that is stored after a user has logged in. While a cookie is still active and functional, the application can be restarted without having to login again.
Troubleshooting: Sometimes after an imgur update the old cookie credentials won't be valid anymore. If experiencing issues with the bot not functioning, first attempt to remove the cookie, restart the application and then log in again. This should solve most problems.
