yourimageshare

Official Python SDK for the YourImageShare upload API. One dependency (requests), Python 3.8+.

• Get an API key: sign in and open the API tab at yourimageshare.com/my-account.
• Full HTTP reference: yourimageshare.com/about/api or API.md in the yourimageshare-api repo.

Install

pip install yourimageshare

Usage

from yourimageshare import YourImageShare

client = YourImageShare(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# Upload a file by path
result = client.upload("photo.jpg")
print(result.direct)  # https://yourimageshare.com/ib/aB3xY9qRz1

# Upload with auto-delete after 1 hour
client.upload("photo.jpg", expires_in=3600)

# Upload from an already-open file object
with open("photo.jpg", "rb") as f:
    client.upload(f, filename="photo.jpg")

# List your uploads (paginated, 50 per page)
listing = client.list()
for item in listing.data:
    print(item.id, item.direct)

# Delete an upload
client.delete(result.id)

YourImageShare also works as a context manager, which closes the underlying HTTP session on exit:

with YourImageShare(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY") as client:
    client.upload("photo.jpg")

Error handling

Failed requests raise YourImageShareError (.status is the HTTP status code, .message is the server's error text):

from yourimageshare import YourImageShare, YourImageShareError

client = YourImageShare(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
try:
    client.upload("photo.jpg")
except YourImageShareError as err:
    print(err.status, err.message)

API

YourImageShare(api_key, base_url=DEFAULT_BASE_URL, timeout=30.0)

base_url defaults to https://yourimageshare.com/api - override only for testing against a different environment.

client.upload(file, *, filename=None, expires_in=None)

file is a path (str/os.PathLike) or an open binary file object. expires_in is seconds, 60 to 2,592,000 (30 days) - omit for a permanent upload. Returns an UploadResult(id, type, path, src, direct, expires_at).

client.list(page=1)

Returns a ListResult(data, meta) where data is a list of ListedUpload(id, type, title, path, src, direct, expires_at, created_at) and meta is ListMeta(current_page, last_page, total).

client.delete(upload_id)

Raises YourImageShareError on a 404/401; returns None on success.

Rate limits

20 requests/minute and 500/day per key by default (2,000/day per IP as a backstop). Not currently surfaced on the return values from this SDK - read the X-RateLimit-Limit/X-RateLimit-Remaining response headers yourself via client._session if you need them, or open an issue to request them on the result objects.
