Requests: use Imgur API to upload image[GB]

First you have to create normal account on Imgur.

After loging to normal account you can go to https://api.imgur.com/oauth2/addclient to register application.

It needs application name and email. Type of authorization depends on how you will use it.

To get information:

import requests

    'Authorization': 'Client-ID f1XXXXXXXXXXXXX',
}

#image: https://i.imgur.com/cvWgXFc.jpg
imageHash = 'cvWgXFc'

r = requests.get(f'https://api.imgur.com/3/image/{imageHash}', headers=headers)
print('status:', r.status_code)
data = r.json()

print(data)
print('size:', data['data']['size'])
