As of today it stopped working

[lgbaldoni]

new API perhaps?

[ruthtern]

luigino, yes
imgur is obsoleting the old API versions

Try changing 2 lines ...
apikey="ea6c0ef2987808e"
curl -H "Authorization: Client-ID $apikey" -F "image=@$file" \
https://api.imgur.com/3/upload.xml

I must be doing something wrong, because this is what I see as output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <data type="array" success="0" status="400"><error>No image data was sent to the upload api</error><request>/3/upload.xml</request><method>POST</method></data> Delete page: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <data type="array" success="0" status="400"><error>No image data was sent to the upload api</error><request>/3/upload.xml</request><method>POST</method></data>

I'm modifying lines #29 and #78: is that correct?

# parse the response and output our stuff
    url=$(echo $response | sed -r 's/.*<link>(.*)<\/link>.*/\1/')
    deleteurl=$(echo $response | sed -r 's/.*<link>(.*)<\/link>.*/\1/')

[lgbaldoni]

parse the response and output our stuff

url=$(echo $response | sed -r 's/.*<link>(.*)<\/link>.*/\1/')
deleteurl=$(echo $response | sed -r 's/.*<link>(.*)<\/link>.*/\1/')

Same deal.

I managed to push kusayuzayushko and ruthtern suggestions into working script:

#!/bin/bash

# imgur script by Bart Nagel <bart@tremby.net>
# version 4.1
# I release this into the public domain. Do with it what you will.

# Required: curl
#
# Optional: xsel or xclip for automatically putting the URLs on the X selection 
# for easy pasting
#
# Instructions:
# Put it somewhere in your path and maybe rename it:
#   mv ~/Downloads/imgurbash.sh ~/bin/imgur
# Make it executable:
#   chmod +x ~/bin/imgur
# Optional, since Alan kindly provided an API key for this script: stick your 
# API key in the top:
#   vim ~/bin/imgur
# Upload an image:
#   imgur images/hilarious/manfallingover.jpg
# Upload multiple images:
#   imgur images/delicious/cake.png images/exciting/bungeejump.jpg
# The URLs will be displayed (and the delete page's URLs will be displayed on 
# stderr). If you have xsel or xclip the URLs will also be put on the X 
# selection, which you can usually paste with a middle click.

Love you man, but the delete page comes out as the image link...

[setaur]

Right. Instead of

deleteurl=$(echo $response | sed -r 's/.*<link>(.*)<\/link>.*/\1/')

should be

deleteurl="http://i.imgur.com/delete/$(echo $response |\
 sed -r 's/.*<deletehash>(.*)<\/deletehash>.*/\1/')"

Now it should work fine. I updated also my previous post.

[lgbaldoni]

All ok, thank you very much!

I think luigino that you should leave this ticket open, because imgurbash.sh from this repository is still not updated.

Done, but I suspect this project has been abandoned.
