ImgUn

Imgur app on Universal Windows Platform.

How to build

1. The solution was built with Visual Studio 2017, targeting .NET Standard 2.0 and Windows SDK version 17763. Make sure you have the appropriate tools installed, then clone the repository.
2. To make API calls, you need to register with Imgur and obtain a set of API key. For more information on this step please refer to their documentation.
3. Create a text file with name ApiKey.json in the Assets folder of the app. This file will supply the keys you obtained in the previous step to the app. See below for information on the content of this file.
4. After creating the previous file, set the Build Action property of this file to Content in the Properties window.
5. Now you should be able to build and run the app.

Content of ApiKey.json

Example:

{
  "clientId": "000000000000000",
  "clientSecret": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "mashapeKey": "000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "host": "api.imgur.com"
}

• clientId: The client ID received after you registered your app.
• clientSecret: The client secret key received after you registered your app.
• mashapeKey: If you want to use the Imgur API commercially, you have to register and pay through RapidAPI (previously Mashape). After registering there, you will receive a X-RapidAPI-Key string to be used in request header. Supply that key here.
• host: The API host you want to use in the app. If you use the non-commercial API from Imgur, the host should be api.imgur.com. If you use the commercial API, it should be imgur-apiv3.p.rapidapi.com.

Known issues

• It is said that Imgur might block some China users from completing OAuth authentication, and Imgur is inaccessible for some China users. If you are in China and are experiencing issues, please try again from outside of China.
• The Adjust video based on lighting option in Windows Settings may trigger a bug in some Intel graphics drivers that results in video rendering glitches. This issue is not related to this app, but if you're having problem (in any video-playing app), try turning it off.
