Usage

Usage: grumi [OPTIONS] <file1> <file2>...
Upload an image, video or album to Imgur.

Options:
    -h, --help              Output this message.
    -v, --version           Output the current version.
    -a, --album             Creates an album containing the provided image(s)/video(s).
    -c, --client_id         Imgur Client ID (overrides ${HOME}/.config/grumi/client_id).
    -d, --disable_audio     Disables audio in provided videos.

Setup

grumi requires you to provide your own Client ID to authenticate with the Imgur API. This is not used to associate uploads with your account, but simply to access the API.

To generate one, register a new application with Imgur here. The fields listed below are required. What you choose to provide is mostly up to you, as Authorization type is the only important field.

Field	Value
Application name	grumi
Authorization type	Anonymous usage without user authentication
Authorization callback URL	example.com
Email	[email protected]

Once submitted you'll be given a Client ID and Client secret. Copy the Client ID and place it in $HOME/.config/grumi/client_id (or use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/grumi/client_id if you wish). You can also use the -c, --client_id option instead of the config file if it better fits your use case.

Restrictions

Imgur impose some harsher restrictions on API uploads compared to their website uploader.

• The following MIME types are supported:
  • Images: image/jpeg, image/gif, image/apng, image/tiff & image/png.
  • Videos: video/mp4, video/webm, video/x-matroska, video/quicktime, video/x-flv, video/x-msvideo, video/x-ms-wmv & video/mpeg.
• Images are limited to 10MB in file size, and videos are limited to 200MB in file size.
• Videos are limited to 60 seconds in length.
