Hey everyone, I’ve been having trouble with an Android application that handles image uploads to Imgur using RapidAPI’s commercial service. The upload feature stopped working about a week ago and I can’t figure out what’s going on.
I checked Imgur’s official status page and everything appears to be running normally there. No reported outages or maintenance issues. I also submitted a support request through RapidAPI’s help system but haven’t heard back yet.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems with RapidAPI’s Imgur integration lately? I’m wondering if this is a widespread issue or something specific to my setup. Any insights would be really helpful.
Had this same issue three days ago with my image app. Spent hours debugging before realizing RapidAPI quietly changed their auth headers for Imgur. The old X-RapidAPI-Key format stopped working, but their docs weren’t updated yet. I regenerated my API key from the RapidAPI dashboard and tweaked the header structure. Fixed everything. Try regenerating your credentials and double-check your auth setup - probably faster than waiting for support.
yeah, im haveing the same trouble! uploads just timeout and give me weird error codes. i tried using imgur’s direct api and it works great. im pretty convinced it’s a rapidapi issue and not imgur’s fault.
Had the same issue recently with another API through RapidAPI. Turns out it wasn’t the API itself - RapidAPI’s internal routing was the problem. Try hitting the API directly first to see if RapidAPI’s causing the issue. If the direct API works fine, you know it’s on their end. Also check if there’s any billing problems or subscription changes - that can mess with service availability too. Support usually gets back to you within a few business days.
