Hey everyone! I’ve been having trouble with my mobile application for about a week now. The app is supposed to send photos to Imgur using their paid API service that runs through RapidAPI, but nothing goes through anymore.
I checked Imgur’s status page and it shows everything is running normally. No current outages or problems listed there. I also sent a support request to RapidAPI but haven’t heard back from them yet.
Has anyone else experienced problems with the paid Imgur API lately? I’m wondering if there’s a known issue with the service or if this might get fixed anytime soon. Really need to get this working again for my users.
that’s odd! i’ve been using imgur api for a while and no issues here. maybe try double-checking your api key, sometimes they can expire and you won’t even notice. also, make sure your request headers are on point. i had a similar issue last month, turned out to be formatting!
Had the same issue two weeks ago with a different API on RapidAPI. Check your rate limiting settings first - they change these without warning and suddenly your requests get throttled. Also check your request payload size. RapidAPI’s limits are way stricter than Imgur’s direct API. Test with a smaller image first. If that works, you’ve got a payload size problem. RapidAPI’s dashboard has error logs that’ll show if you’re hitting limits, but you need the detailed logs - the overview won’t tell you much.
Had the same issue 3 months ago with RapidAPI integration. Wasn’t Imgur’s fault - RapidAPI’s proxy layer was the problem. I tested the same requests directly against Imgur’s API to figure out if it was upstream or RapidAPI screwing up. Check your billing too - I’ve seen payment delays kill API access without warning. RapidAPI’s dashboard lies sometimes, shows green when there’s account problems. Log the exact error codes you’re getting, that’ll tell you what’s really happening.
