Imgur

Imgur is an image hosting community with albums, a public gallery, tags, and comments. Agents upload images, build albums, search and share to the gallery, follow tags, and post or moderate comments on the connected account.

A campaign asset clears review in the content system and needs a hosted link

Get Account Settings reads whether new uploads default to public on this account

Upload Image stores the file and returns both its id and its delete hash

Agent records the delete hash alongside the id, because only one of them can delete it

Create Album groups the campaign's assets, and Add Images To Album keeps it additive

The album link and the per-image direct links post back to the campaign record

Nothing reaches the public gallery until the account owner approves the submission

What This Integration Enables

Imgur is a hosting service with a community wrapped around it, and the connector covers both halves: uploads, albums, direct links and account settings on one side, and the public gallery, tags, votes and comments on the other. FlowRunner agents upload images and video, build and reorganize albums, search the gallery with Imgur's own operators, follow tags, read the account's reply notifications, and post or remove comments on the connected account.

Two facts about this platform shape every workflow, and both are the vendor's own position rather than a limitation of the connector. First, Imgur has paused new API application registrations, so this integration is usable if you already hold a client id or reach the API through a metered reseller tier. Second, Imgur's OAuth has no scope parameter at all, which means a token carries the full permissions of whoever authorized it and a read-only credential does not exist. There is no way to build a safe token here. The safety has to live in the workflow, which is precisely what human-in-the-loop design is for.

Without FlowRunner

Links pasted by hand Someone uploads an image in a browser and copies the URL into a ticket

Delete handles lost The only handle that can remove an anonymous upload is never written down

Public by accident Nobody checks the account's upload default before a run, so visibility varies by account

With FlowRunner

Links produced by the flow Uploading, grouping and returning the direct link happens as part of the workflow that needed it

Delete handles kept Both the id and the delete hash are stored at upload time, so removal is always possible

Public by decision The account's default is read before the run, and gallery submission is a separate approved step

Use Case Scenarios

Hosting campaign assets and handing back durable links

An approved asset lands in the content pipeline. The agent calls Upload Image, either by giving Imgur a URL to fetch or by copying the bytes, and stores both values from the response: the id, which is public and addresses the image for the account that owns it, and the delete hash, which for an anonymous upload is the only handle that will ever remove it. Create Album groups the campaign's images, and the direct links go back into the record in Airtable or the CMS at Webflow. Because the handles were captured at upload, a takedown later is one call rather than a support conversation.
Reorganizing an album without destroying it

A campaign gets restructured. The agent uses Add Images To Album and Remove Images From Album rather than Update Album, because sending image ids to the update operation replaces the album's contents rather than extending them. Removing an image from an album does not delete the image, only its membership, so reorganization is genuinely safe to automate. When a whole album is retired, Delete Album removes the grouping and leaves the underlying images in place, which is a much smaller act than the name suggests.
Watching what a published post is collecting

Once a post is in the gallery, the agent polls List Reply Notifications and List Gallery Comments and classifies what comes back. Ordinary discussion is summarized into a weekly digest in Slack. Anything the classifier flags as abusive is not silently removed; the agent calls Report Comment with a reason code, which reaches Imgur's own moderation queue, and it does not treat a successful report as a removal, because the report is a request to a human moderator rather than an action. Anything involving the account's own comments is left for a person.

Human-in-Loop Highlight

Share To Gallery is the one way door on this connector, and it is worth being precise about why. It takes an image or album the account owns, which may well be private, and puts it on Imgur's public gallery where the whole community can vote on it and comment underneath. There is a Remove From Gallery operation, so this is not permanent in the strict sense, but it does not restore what was lost: the votes, views and comments the post accumulated do not come back if it is resubmitted, and anything that was already reposted elsewhere is gone from the account's control entirely. Combine that with Imgur's lack of any scope parameter, which means the token doing the uploading can also submit, vote, comment and block, and the case for an explicit gate is obvious.

So the agent uploads, groups and links all day without asking. When a post is a candidate for the gallery, it stops and shows what it would submit: "This album contains four images from the spring campaign. The account's upload default is private, so these are not currently public. Submitting them to the gallery makes them world visible and opens them to comments. Submit?" The account owner answers. The same gate covers Update Account Settings, because the public images setting there does not change one asset, it changes the visibility of every upload the flow makes afterward.

Agent Capabilities

41 actions

Account

Get Account Reads an account's public profile: reputation, bio, creation date and avatar. Leaving the username empty reads the connected account, which makes this the cheapest connection test.
Get Account Settings Reads the connected account's settings, including whether new uploads default to public, the album privacy default and the email address. Worth reading before any upload run.
Update Account Settings Changes the connected account's settings. Several of these are privacy controls rather than preferences, and the public images setting decides whether every future upload is world visible.
List Account Images Lists the images an account has uploaded, newest first. For any account other than the connected one only public images are returned, so a short list can mean private uploads rather than an empty account.
List Account Albums Lists an account's albums, newest first, with the same public-only restriction for other accounts.
List Account Comments Lists an account's comments, sorted newest, oldest or by score.
List Account Favorites Lists what an account has favorited, images and albums together. The account's own saved set rather than anything public.
List Account Submissions Lists what an account has submitted to the public gallery, which is a strict subset of its uploads.
List Reply Notifications Lists the connected account's unread comment reply notifications, which is how a flow reacts to a reply without polling every thread.

Blocking

List Blocked Users Lists the accounts the connected account has blocked.
Block User Blocks a user on behalf of the connected account.
Unblock User Removes a block on a user.

Images

Upload Image Uploads an image or video, either by giving Imgur a URL to fetch or by copying the bytes. The response carries both an id and a delete hash, and they are not interchangeable, so a flow stores both.
Get Image Reads an image's metadata: direct link, dimensions, type, size, view count and whether it is in the gallery. It works for any public image.
Update Image Changes an image's title or description. An owned image takes its id; an anonymous upload takes its delete hash.
Delete Image Deletes an image. An owned image is deleted by id, while an anonymous upload can only be deleted with the delete hash it returned at upload time.
Favorite Image Toggles an image as a favorite of the connected account. It is a toggle rather than a set, so a retried call can silently undo itself.

Albums

Get Album Reads an album's metadata and the images inside it, in order.
Create Album Creates an album, optionally filling it with images already uploaded. The privacy default comes from the account's own album setting rather than a fixed value.
Update Album Updates an album's metadata and, when image ids are supplied, its contents. Sending ids replaces the album's image list rather than adding to it.
Add Images To Album Adds images to an album, keeping whatever is already in it. The additive counterpart to the update.
Remove Images From Album Removes images from an album. The images themselves survive, so this is the safe way to reorganize.
Delete Album Deletes an album. The images inside are not deleted, only the grouping.
Favorite Album Toggles an album as a favorite of the connected account, with the same retry caveat as the image version.

Gallery

List Gallery Browses the public gallery by section, sort and time window. The front page rather than anything belonging to the account.
Search Gallery Searches the public gallery. Imgur supports search operators in the query, including quoted phrases, exclusion and filters on extension, size and album.
Get Gallery Item Reads a gallery post with its vote counts, comment count and tags. A post can be an image or an album.
Share To Gallery Submits an image or album the connected account owns to the public gallery. This makes private content public, and it is the operation this page's human gate is built on.
Remove From Gallery Takes a post back out of the public gallery. The image or album survives, but the votes, views and comments it accumulated do not return if it is resubmitted.
Vote On Gallery Item Casts or clears the connected account's vote on a gallery post.

Tags and Feed

List Gallery Tags Lists the gallery's default tags, which is the set Imgur promotes on its own front page.
Get Tag Reads one gallery tag with its follower count and the posts filed under it.
Follow Tag Follows a gallery tag on behalf of the connected account, which surfaces its posts in the account's feed.
Unfollow Tag Stops following a gallery tag.
Get Feed Reads the connected account's personalized feed, built from the tags and users it follows.

Comments

List Gallery Comments Lists the comments on a gallery post, sorted best, top or newest.
Get Comment Reads one comment with its score and author.
Create Comment Posts a comment on a gallery item, or a reply when a parent comment id is given. It only works on posts that are in the gallery.
Delete Comment Deletes a comment the connected account posted.
Vote On Comment Casts or clears the connected account's vote on a comment.
Report Comment Reports a comment to Imgur's moderators with a reason code. It reaches a human moderation queue rather than taking any automatic action, so a successful report is not a removal.
