Hi, I frequently have several jpg images I need to up at the same time and drop the URLs into mi.txt
The main problem is that I can't figure out where the curl command is failing or why imgur isn't responding with a URL (I've tried several keys which I'm sure work)

Secondary issue is that I'm sure there is a more elegant way than listing 1.jpg 2.jpg and just having it upload *.jpg from that folder.
Additionally, there is probably a limit to the number of images that can be sequentially uploaded too but I don't know what that number is. Couldn't find it on imgur documentation.



any assistance would be much appreciated!

Howdy anystupidassname!

From what I can tell, your curl command is good. It's uploading the files, right? It works in my testing for sure.
I think the problem is in your grep commands. Try running it without the greps, and storing the output in a file. From there, you can play with different ways of parsing the output without trying an actual upload every time.

- In my output, the 'original' url is in an "<original_image>" tag, as opposed to the "<original> that you used in your script.
- The parenthesis around the dot are not necessary, and may also be part of the problem

Try this, in place of the two greps:


As for your second question, in my test I simply replaced 1, 2, and 3.jpg with *.jpg
This should work on every .jpg in the current working directory.

I hope this helps!
