I’m encountering an issue with uploading images using the Imgur API on RapidAPI. Everything functioned correctly until two days ago, but now I’m receiving a 404 error when trying to make uploads.
The specific endpoint I’m trying to access is https://imgur-apiv3.p.rapidapi.com/3/image, and it no longer provides any other error messages or details. My previous code worked without issues, but now it fails to respond correctly.
Has anyone else faced a similar issue recently? I haven’t seen any updates or notifications regarding any changes to the service. It would be great if there were a support channel available for those of us using this API within RapidAPI.
I’m open to any alternative suggestions or potential fixes, as my site relies heavily on this feature.
Had this exact issue three days ago. RapidAPI’s Imgur wrapper keeps breaking - their endpoints are a mess right now. Spent hours trying to fix it before I just switched to Imgur’s native API instead. Way more reliable. The switch isn’t hard - just register your app on Imgur’s site for credentials. Authentication works differently but it’s solid. I’ve been checking RapidAPI’s status dashboard and their Imgur service keeps going down, though they won’t admit there’s a problem. You could try adding retry logic with exponential backoff as a band-aid fix, but honestly? Just use the direct API. Saved me tons of frustration.
Hit the same issue last week with that endpoint. The 404s just started showing up randomly and RapidAPI support was useless when I reached out. I switched to Cloudinary temporarily while waiting for the RapidAPI wrapper to get fixed. Their free tier works great for image uploads and was easy to set up. If you’d rather stick with Imgur, just use their direct API - way more reliable. I kept my RapidAPI code as backup with error handling that automatically switches when it craps out. These third-party wrappers are such a pain when you’ve got live sites depending on them.
yeah, im getting that 404 error too! at first, i thought it was just my code messing up. switched to imgur’s direct API and it’s working fine now, just remember to get a client ID first. hope they fix it soon!
