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. 
}
