Description

Imgurwrap is a node.js module for making requests against the Imgur API.

Supports querying the API for image and album data by ID or URL.

How to use

Start by requiring the module

imgurwrap = require('imgurwrap.js');

Basic configuration

• Register with Imgur to get a ClientID for your application.

imgurwrap.setUserAgent('imgurwrap default useragent v1.1'); // Replace with your UserAgent
imgurwrap.setClientID('eb534344da354de40d90'); // Replace with your CleintID

Data models returned by the API

• Image
• Album

1. Request an image by ID

imgurwrap.getImageData('lEVc0PF', function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

2. Request an album by ID

imgurwrap.getAlbumData('PzWUu', function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

3. Request an image, multiple images, or an album by URL

The returned model property will be either 'image', 'images', or 'album'

imgurwrap.getURLData('http://imgur.com/lEVc0PF', function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
    console.log(res.model); // Prints out 'image'
});

imgurwrap.getURLData('http://imgur.com/lEVc0PF,G80OxqS', function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
    console.log(res.model); // Prints out 'images'
    console.log(res.images[0].model); // Prints out 'image'
});

imgurwrap.getURLData('http://imgur.com/a/PzWUu', function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
    console.log(res.model); // Prints out 'album'
});

4. Upload an image

From another URL:

imgurwrap.uploadImageURL({
    image: 'http://i.imgur.com/nVQtKSl.jpg',
    title: 'Something good',
    description: 'Something descriptive',
}, function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

From a file:

var imageData = fs.readFileSync(imagePath);

imgurwrap.uploadImageFile({
    image: imageData,
    title: 'Something good',
    description: 'Something descriptive'
}, function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

From a Base64 encoded file:

var imageData = fs.readFileSync(imagePath);

imgurwrap.uploadImageBase64({
    image: imageData,
    title: 'Something good',
    description: 'Something descriptive'
}, function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

5. Delete an image

imgurwrap.deleteImage('lEV3j0PF', function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

6. Request rate limiting information

imgurwrap.getRateLimitingData(function(err, res) {
    console.log(res);
});

For commercial usage, Mashape can be utilized for making requests.

• Register with Mashape to get a MashapeAuthID for your application.

// Replace with your MashapeAuthID
imgurwrap.setMashapeAuthID('cXs47w356nWDx2k9E34G36j4ZHBAdxmZ');

Note that on setting the MashapeAuthID, the endpoint used for making requests will automaticaly be updated to point to the Mashape Imgur endpoint (i.e. https://imgur-apiv3.p.mashape.com/).
