imgur --base64 iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAQCAYAAAAf8/9hAAAAmUlEQVQ4je2TsQ3CMBBFnxMa08WR2IQKJskIUNwMZAcYwWIQMs65JCUpEEIYW4pJy6v+6e6+/hVnnGsAzsCBMi7AsbbW/rIMsAU2xrnmkeruuzW7zgIw+JGbv6fGQpWzfy3HOsJlDQY/AlCv3jpF9oS5ZBOICKoB1YCIlCdQDR9127qyBHP5Gyw3CBXPr/qi709JHXE1S995AsqoJu8x78GsAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC
Saving a client id for subsequent use:
imgur --save f9ae01148b53261
Display saved client id:
imgur --show
Remove previously saved client id:
imgur --clear
Use a specific client id one time only (overrides saved id):
imgur --client-id f9ae01148b53261 --file ~/me.jpg
# Short-hand
imgur -c f9ae01148b53261 -f ~/me.jpg

imgur --album-id F8KTV --file ~/me.jpg
# Short-hand
imgur -a F8KTV ~/me.jpg
You must own the album. If it's an anonymous album you need to use the deletehash
in place of the album ID.
npm install imgur
var imgur = require('imgur');
// Setting
imgur.setClientId('aCs53GSs4tga0ikp');
// Getting
imgur.getClientId();
// Saving to disk. Returns a promise.
// NOTE: path is optional. Defaults to ~/.imgur
imgur.saveClientId(path)
.then(function () {
console.log('Saved.');
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log(err.message);
});
// Loading from disk
// NOTE: path is optional. Defaults to ~/.imgur
imgur.loadClientId(path)
.then(imgur.setClientId);
In order to change the API Url say Mashape URL, use setAPIUrl(MashapeURL)
//Setting
imgur.setAPIUrl('https://api.imgur.com/3/');
//If setAPIUrl() is not called, API URL is read from process.env.IMGUR_API_URL
//Getting
imgur.getAPIUrl();
Requests to the Mashape URL expects a X-Mashape-Key: MashapeKey header. Set Mashape Key by using setMashapeKey(MashapeKey) method. Note: Defaults to process.env.IMGUR_MASHAPE_KEY
//Setting
imgur.setMashapeKey(https://imgur-apiv3.p.mashape.com/);
//Getting
imgur.getMashapeKey()
For when you want to upload images to an account.
// Setting
imgur.setCredentials('email@domain.com', 'password', 'aCs53GSs4tga0ikp');
// A single image
imgur.uploadFile('/home/kai/kittens.png')
.then(function (json) {
console.log(json.data.link);

The first argument should be a query to search and it's the only required option. The second argument is optional params to sort your query by.
sort
- Accepts 'time', 'viral', or 'top' as a value. Defaults to top.dateRange
- Accepts 'day', 'week', 'month', 'year', or 'all' as a value. Defaults to all.page
- Accepts an integer (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4) as a value. Defaults to 1.
Search returns an object with the query response as an array of objects that include an image's ID, title, description, views, etc.. and the params you sent with the request.
var query = 'cats';
var optionalParams = {sort: 'top', dateRange: 'week', page: 1}

console.log(json);

Upload an array of images of the desired upload type ('File', 'Url', 'Base64').
Returns an array of images (imgur image data).
imgur.uploadImages(images, uploadType /*, albumId */)
.then(function(images) {

Create a new album and upload an array of images of the desired upload type to it ('File', 'Url', 'Base64').
Returns an object with the album data and an array of images { data: {...}, images: [{...}, ...]}.
The third parameter is an optional fail safe, meaning if the array of images is empty or invalid, it will not fail, but returns an object with empty data and empty images.
imgur.uploadAlbum(images, uploadType /*, failSafe */)
.then(function(album) {
console.log(album.data, album.images);
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.error(err.message);
