reminder to create a env.py file next to main.py, and in it define a SECRET string and a PORT int. it can be whatever you want, you need to send the SECRET along with your request to upload the image in the POST req as a secret parameter.
i'll probably write a better readme some day. if you use this in prod not for personal purposes -- you will be shot on sight.
also you probably would want to run this with a WSGI thing too. that's not within my realm of responsibilities.
this is prod-ready so check out the main.py file if you need to comment anything out
be-fucking-ware! discord permanently caches the images for given links in RPC sooo until i push out an update to randomly generate IDs -- shit's fucked! i'm personally stuck with the cover art for Dead Poet Society - FISSION.
oh yeah and i guess if you're structuring a request it should look something like this (using the requests library):
data = requests.post(
"https://cover.example.com/upload",
data = { "secret": env.SECRET },
files = { "image": requests.get(url).content }
).json()
if "message" not in data:
raise Exception(data["error"])where env.SECRET is the secret string and the image thing is an image as bytes. hopefully jpg.
WEATHER UPDATE: 0.2.0 now returns a "hash" 6-char string along with the upload success data. you can use it to bypass caching like in discord by accessing it at /<hash>.jpg. /cover.jpg still works in case you don't really need all that.
