imgur --save f9ae01148b53261Display saved client id:
imgur --showRemove previously saved client id:
imgur --clearUse a specific client id one time only (overrides saved id):
imgur --client-id f9ae01148b53261 --file ~/me.jpg
# Short-hand
imgur -c f9ae01148b53261 -f ~/me.jpgAdd images to an existing album by specifying an album ID:
imgur --album-id F8KTV --file ~/me.jpg
# Short-hand
imgur -a F8KTV ~/me.jpgYou must own the album. If it's an anonymous album you need to use the deletehash in place of the album ID.
npm install imgurconst imgur = require('imgur');// Change this cliend id to your own.
const clientId = 'aCs53GSs4tga0ikp';

// Loading from disk
imgur.loadClientId(path).then(imgur.setClientId);In order to change the API Url say Mashape URL, use setAPIUrl(MashapeURL)
//Setting
imgur.setAPIUrl('https://api.imgur.com/3/');
//If setAPIUrl() is not called, API URL is read from process.env.IMGUR_API_URL
//Getting
imgur.getAPIUrl();Requests to the Mashape URL expects a X-Mashape-Key: MashapeKey header. Set Mashape Key by using setMashapeKey(MashapeKey) method. Note: Defaults to process.env.IMGUR_MASHAPE_KEY
//Setting
imgur.setMashapeKey(https://imgur-apiv3.p.mashape.com/);
//Getting
imgur.getMashapeKey()For when you want to upload images to an account.
// Setting
imgur.setCredentials('[email protected]', 'password', 'aCs53GSs4tga0ikp');// A single image

});The first argument should be a query to search and it's the only required option. The second argument is optional params to sort your query by.
sort- Accepts 'time', 'viral', or 'top' as a value. Defaults to top.dateRange- Accepts 'day', 'week', 'month', 'year', or 'all' as a value. Defaults to all.page- Accepts an integer (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4) as a value. Defaults to 1.
Search returns an object with the query response as an array of objects that include an image's ID, title, description, views, etc.. and the params you sent with the request.
const query = 'cats';
const optionalParams = { sort: 'top', dateRange: 'week', page: 1 };

Returns an object with the album data and an array of images { data: {...}, images: [{...}, ...]}.
The third parameter is an optional fail safe, meaning if the array of images is empty or invalid, it will not fail, but returns an object with empty data and empty images.
