Imgur Image Rehoster

By ES on Oct 15, 2011

Simple script that allows you to rehost images to imgur (a popular image service)
Useful for places that don't allow hotlinking

Usage:

When loaded in a bot: !imgur
When loaded in your client: /imgur

on *:TEXT:!imgur*:#: { $imgur($2,#) }

alias imgur {
  set %imgurpic $1
  if $sock(imgur) { sockclose(imgur) }
  sockopen  imgur imgur.com 80
  sockmark imgur $iif($2,/msg $2,/echo -a)
}
on *:SOCKOPEN:imgur: {
  sockwrite -n $sockname GET /upload?url= $+ %imgurpic HTTP/1.1
  sockwrite -n $sockname Host: imgur.com
  sockwrite -n $sockname Connection: close
  sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf 
}

on *:SOCKREAD:imgur: {
  var %imgurtemp | sockread %imgurtemp
  if (location isin %imgurtemp) { $sock(imgur).mark $iif(?err isin %imgurtemp, Sorry but that isn't a valid image link. Alternatively $+ $chr(44) you broke it.,Imgur Link: $gettok(%imgurtemp,2-,58) $+ .jpg) | unset %imgur* }
}

imgur has their own API at your disposal. You should check it out. It makes writing a socket a lot easier. An API key may need to be requested if there isn't one posted at their API description page.

You'll have to create a POST socket and, using binvars, send the image bytes. In this manner, the socket will see it as an image. I think there are several examples laying around Hawkee, I'll try to find one and post back before anyone beats me to it :p

Edit: http://www.hawkee.com/snippet/4948/ looks like a good one

@Jethro, you're right on both accounts, idk why i've always used the -n switch with sockopen, and the sockclose incident was just a typo

@ alabama It currently doesn't support that, i'll look into it tho

How to upload with a filename?

There is no such identifier as: $sockclose()

It's supposed to be:

if $sock(imgur) { sockclose $v1 }

I'm not aware of the -n switch for the sockopen command. I don't believe there is one but the -d and -e switch.
