Encountering a problem when sending video files through Imgur RapidAPI’s image endpoint. It returns an error:
{'result': {'message': 'Upload failed for video', 'route': '/image/upload', 'action': 'POST'}, 'success': false, 'code': 500}
In my experience, the error stems from using an endpoint that is designed to handle only images. I faced a similar issue when trying to upload a video directly. What I found is that the API documentation makes it clear that the /image/upload endpoint does not support video files. I ended up looking into creating a workaround by either converting my video into a compatible format or using another service that supports video uploads. Carefully reviewing the documentation can help clarify these limitations and suggest alternative methods.
hey, imgur’s image endpoint might not be built for vids. i had a similer problem before and ended up using a different service or converting my video to a gif. maybe recheck the api docs?
In my experience, encountering an error like this usually indicates that the endpoint you are using isn’t designed to handle the file type you’re trying to upload. I encountered a similar issue when working with multimedia APIs; the problem was that the API endpoint expected static image formats rather than a media file such as a video. After reviewing the API guidelines, I found that opting for the appropriate service or performing file conversions was necessary to move forward. This approach helped me better understand the importance of following the specified API protocols.
