Using the CLI APP

^{imagehosterception}

Once you have installed the package via pip, you have also a CLI app installed.

$ imagehoster qq.jpeg
File uploaded: https://steemitimages.com/DQmZNzWiHHSJGdPjTXDAmeZEW5G84z47uSKbR9shABJRRaL/image

Notes

• If you set up your own imagehoster server instance, all you need to do is change the image_uploader_instance.API_BASE_URL to your URL.

• Have a look at here to see the java version of the same functionality.

• Have a look at here to see the implementation on Condenser

Technology Stack

Code runs on Python 3.6+. It may run on previous versions of py3k, but didn't tried it myself.

Roadmap

It works fine at the moment. Since the server doesn't have many options, there is nothing to add more.
