Repository

• https://github.com/emre/imagehoster-python-client

Imagehoster is the project powers the images you upload at Steemit. It's an interesting project because only STEEM accounts can upload files here by signing the image content with their posting key. You can get more details on the ImageHoster README.

---

imagehoster-python-client is the python client of the steemitimages. You can upload images to steemitimages in your python applications.

Installation

$ (sudo) pip install imagehoster

Usage

image_uploader = ImageUploader(
    steem_username,
   private_posting_key,
)
resp = image_uploader.upload("/path/to/image.png)
if 'url' in resp:
    print("File uploaded: %s" % resp["url"])
else:
    print(resp)

Using the CLI APP

^{imagehosterception}

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

Make sure you have set environment variables first:

export IMAGEHOSTER_USERNAME=emrebeyler
export IMAGEHOSTER_POSTING_WIF=PRIVATE_POSTING_WIF

Then...

$ 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.

Thank you for your contribution. It would be nice if the commit messages would be little more descriptive. Also when the image is not uploaded you will get some error "# there must be something wrong.", in this comment if you would have mentioned what all the error a user can get then it will be better for developers to debug their code.

nice work! Agree it's interesting to use the sign with STEEM key to restrict to STEEM users only.

Hey man, on your code sample:

resp = image_uploader.upload("/path/to/image.png)

there's a missing quote :)

congratulations on the contribution!

I wish the docs in imagehoster for js is as clear as your doc. I still don't get how to upload using js.
