I’ve been using this mobile app on my Android phone that lets me upload pictures to Imgur using their paid API service through RapidAPI. Everything was working perfectly until about a week ago when the upload feature just stopped functioning completely.
I checked Imgur’s official status page and it shows all systems are running normally with no reported outages or issues. I also submitted a support request to RapidAPI but haven’t gotten any reply yet.
Has anyone else experienced problems with the commercial Imgur API recently? I’m wondering if this is a widespread issue or just affecting certain users. Any ideas on potential workarounds or timeline for a fix would be really appreciated!
yea, I think rapidapi’s imgur might be acting up. got similar vibes where the service seemed fine but uploads were stuck or just timed out. maybe try a diff imgur provider if there are any. also, look at your app logs for any weird http codes, even 200s can be shady.
Had this exact problem three weeks ago with my photo backup app. Turned out RapidAPI changed their rate limiting. My subscription was active, but requests got throttled differently than before. Fixed it by checking response headers - I was getting HTTP 429 errors the app wasn’t handling right. Try uploading during off-peak hours first. Also, some Android apps cache API responses terribly, so clear the app’s cache and data. The timing suggests it’s RapidAPI’s recent infrastructure updates, not Imgur.
I encountered a similar issue with a different RapidAPI service recently. It appears that RapidAPI made some changes to their authentication process without any prior notice, causing my requests to fail even with unchanged code. To resolve it, I regenerated my API key from the dashboard and updated the necessary headers accordingly. Additionally, it’s worth checking if there have been any updates to the API documentation, as sometimes parameters or endpoints get altered. If the problem persists, testing a simple curl command can help determine whether the issue lies with the API itself or with the app you are using.
