Commandline Imgur Uploader

imgurup

"imgurup", the commandline imgur uploader, was written for a very simple reason. I wanted to be able to upload images (usually screenshots, though not always - see imgurscrot for my "take screenshot and upload" tool :D) to imgur without needing to open a web browser or whatever.

Use

Put it somewhere in $PATH as an executable (chmod +x) file named "imgurup" and just do "imgurup /path/to/file" to upload the file in question.

API keys needed

Get an API key from api.imgur.com and set the environmental variable "IMGUR_CLIENT_ID" to the client id you get. Just pick one of the anonymous tokens as I was not arsed linking screenshots to accounts just yet.

Requirements

imgurup requires only standard python2 libraries, with the exception of the requests module, as I was not arsed using urllib for the HTTP stuff initially.
To install requests:

$ pip install requests

If you REALLY don't want to use requests, I provided a stdlib only version using urllib as "imgurup-stdlib.py", written while sitting in the pub :)

Licence

Licenced under the WTFPL.

computational cycles accepted for beer

If you want, throw bitcoins at 13wUj3ZMut6uJAZKgZ4jCGz6tfqRvUzRgj and I will spend them on beer to fuel further stuff liek this.

Todo

• Multiple image upload (album creation)
• Tying it to imgur account
• Refactoring and stuff (maybe even PEP-8 compliance!!!)
• Replace requests stuff with stdlib only for fun [done - see imgurup-stdlib]
• pip-compatible setuputils setup.py stuff
