ImgurDirect

ImgurDirect takes any imgur url and returns direct urls to images within the link

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'imgur_direct'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install imgur_direct

Usage

Make sure to register for Imgur API usage and set IMGUR_CLIENT_ID in your environment. Then you can use it in your code as per examples below.

Note that it always returns an array. This is to make the api consistent for galleries, albums and direct links.

ENV['IMGUR_CLIENT_ID'] = 'xxxxyyyzzzz'
require 'imgur_direct'
