Hey everyone! I’ve been having trouble with my mobile application for the past week. The app uses RapidAPI to connect with Imgur’s service for photo uploads, but nothing seems to be working anymore.
When I check Imgur’s official status page, everything appears to be running normally. No outages or maintenance issues are reported there. I already submitted a support request through RapidAPI’s help system, but I haven’t heard back from them yet.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems with RapidAPI’s Imgur connection recently? Are there any known issues with their commercial service that might explain why uploads keep failing? I’m hoping someone here might have insights about when this might get fixed.
rapidapi’s been acting up lately. switch to imgur’s direct api - the free tier handles most apps and it’s way more reliable than rapidapi’s proxy. i’ve had the same issues with other services on their platform. they seem to break things every time they update.
Had the same issue two months back with a different RapidAPI endpoint. Check your API version compatibility first - RapidAPI loves updating their wrapper without warning, and your old request format might be getting rejected. Compare your headers and auth method against their current docs. Also check if you’ve hit usage limits on your subscription tier. Turned out my problem wasn’t the actual service but RapidAPI screwing up requests after they updated their backend.
Had the exact same issue with RapidAPI’s Imgur endpoint about three weeks ago. Wasn’t obvious at first, but it was their authentication token refresh cycles screwing things up. RapidAPI changes how they handle OAuth tokens without telling anyone. Regenerate your API keys in the RapidAPI dashboard and make sure your request payload matches what they want now. They’d silently killed some parameter names in upload requests - that’s what got me. Error logs were useless too, just generic 400s. I’d test with a bare-bones request first to figure out if it’s auth or payload format.
