NOTE: Although I could not find any rules about bots on imgur (either in the terms of service OR the API), I am willing to bet this could get a user banned, and is definitely a bit shady.
===============
Simple Command Line ruby script to respond to comments on imgur using cleverbot responses.
=============================
Make sure to create a file in your $HOME directory named .imgurrc
You can rename this file, but you will need to change the constant in lib/imgur.rb
.imgurrc
File contents:
---
:client_id: YOUR_APP_CLIENT_ID
:client_secret: YOUR_APP_CLIENT_SECRET
For this to work, you will need to register an Imgur application (https://api.imgur.com/oauth2/addclient), and then authorize it using an Imgur account. After doing so, you will record the access token and refresh token in the .imgurrc
file, using the following lines:
:account_username: THE_IMGUR_USER_NAME
:access_token: YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
:refresh_token: YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN
