ImageShack Uploader Script

I think this would be useful to you all as it painlessly uploads your images to imageshack and prints out a link to the image and a link that can be copy/pasted into forums for a clickable thumbnail. It's 100% written by me in Python. Requires cURL. It also shows a nice progress bar so you can see how far your upload has gone. Hope this helps!

Mirror 1: http://pastebin.com/f2d746452 Copy and paste into a file called imgupload.py

Mirror 2:

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys, os

#Define globals.
tmp = "temp.data" #Temporary file filename.
img = "" #Image filename.
ext = "" #File extension.

#Define functions.
def uploadsingle():
    print("Uploading: " + img)
    os.system("curl -H Expect: -F fileupload=\"@" + img + "\" -F xml=yes -# \"http://www.imageshack.us/index.php\" > " + tmp)

    file = open(tmp, "r")
    content = file.read()

    #Get the image link.
    start = content.find("<image_link>")
    end = content.find("</image_link>")
    link = content[start + 12 : end]

    #Get the thumbnail link.
    start = content.find("<thumb_link>")
    end = content.find("</thumb_link>")
    forum_link = content[start + 12 : end]

    print("Image link:\t\t" + link)
    print("Link for forums:\t[url= + link + ][img]" + forum_link + "[/img][/url]")

def uploadall(extension):
    print("Uploading: *." + extension)
    outfile = open("links.txt", "a")
    list = os.listdir("./")
    for fname in list:
        if fname.endswith(ext):
            print("Uploading: " + fname)
            os.system("curl -H Expect: -F fileupload=\"@" + fname + "\" -F xml=yes -# \"http://www.imageshack.us/index.php\" > " + tmp)
            file = open(tmp, "r")
            content = file.read()
            #Get the image link.
            start = content.find("<image_link>")
            end = content.find("</image_link>")
            link = content[start + 12 : end]
            #Get the thumbnail link.
            start = content.find("<thumb_link>")
            end = content.find("</thumb_link>")
            forum_link = content[start + 12 : end]
            #Append link data to the outfile.
            outfile.write("File: " + fname + "\n")
            outfile.write("Image link:\t\t" + link + "\n")
            outfile.write("Link for forums:\t[url= + link + ][img]" + forum_link + "[/img][/url]\n\n")
            os.system("rm " + tmp) #Remove temporary file.

#Process command line arguments and execute program.
if sys.argv[1] == "all":
    ext = sys.argv[2]
    uploadall(ext)
else:
    img = sys.argv[1]
    uploadsingle()

os.system("rm " + tmp) #Remove temporary file.

Re: ImageShack Uploader Script

wouldnt call that "a nice progress bar", it totally screws up my terminal.... the percentage numbers would be enough... furthermore, it doesnt return the links to me:

curl: (55) select/poll returned error
Image link:       
Link for forums:

EDIT: this time it worked, thank you very much! (the first error was probably connected to my bad connection)

Re: ImageShack Uploader Script

Are you the same author of this?

If so, and even if not so, is it possible to have the option of using http://xs.to, for example, instead of imageshack? The reason why I don't like imageshack is that it's painfully slow. Xs seems quite faster.

Thanks for your work smile

I am not the author of the script in the AUR. I have never seen it in my life. I'll try to add xs.to support.

Re: ImageShack Uploader Script

Wow, sweet script! One thing...

$ mv imgupload.py imgup
# chmod +x imgup
# mv imgup /usr/bin

...will make it so you can just type

$ imgup pic.img

from anywhere and upload it, so you don't have to run the Python interpreter all the time.

Once again, thanks. This is really awesome!

Re: ImageShack Uploader Script

FYI, the script can't be found at the link Solarwind posted anymore. You can find it here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/image … ack-upload

EDIT: Er, just kidding, this one's different. sad

Re: ImageShack Uploader Script

I was inspired by this script to make an uploader to my favorite image website, kimag.es. It will display a progress bar as it uploads and then spit out the uploaded URL. To use, run `sh kup.sh pic.png`. Here it is, in all it's one-lined glory:

curl -# -F userfile=@$1 http://kimag.es/index.php?action=upload|grep http://arch.kimag.es/share|cut -c112-150

For anyone wondering, his PetaIMG upload script is here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~x-solarwin … aUpload.py

PetaIMG looks like a really nice ImageShack replacement. Thanks solarwind.

It is definately more flexible but I have had problems with it in the past (sometimes the images won't upload or they will upload but not display). ImageShack has some limitations but it has NEVER failed me. It also creates a nice thumbnail automaticlly for you so you can easily copy/paste the link to paste in a forum post. But you could just as easily create a thumbnail with imagemagick.

Re: ImageShack Uploader Script

You may also want to try

curl -s -F userfile=@$1 http://kimag.es/index.php?action=upload | grep http://arch.kimag.es/share | cut -c112-150 | xclip

You can access the adress with middle mouse button then. Great to use it as a custom action e.g. in thunar smile.

Edit: For those who like CTRL+V over middle mouse button:

curl -s -F userfile=@$1 http://kimag.es/index.php?action=upload | grep http://arch.kimag.es/share | cut -c112-150 | xclip -selection clipboard

You might also want to use xsel instead of xclip.

Re: ImageShack Uploader Script

I guess....maybe something to do with this line in the page source ? ::

<input type="hidden" value="1" id="numval" />
