Upload random image to loforo from any folder using the loforo API

To upload random file from current working directory on Linux use a command similar to shown below, also do not forget to quote html as not doing so might cause bugs and this is just an example:

mkdir -p uploaded
FILE=$(find *.* -type f | shuf -n 1); curl -F 'key=<your api key>' -F "media=@$FILE" -F 'content="<p>some html here</p>"' https://loforo.com/api/post/create; mv -v $FILE uploaded

You can copy files you want to upload to a temporary directory by using a command below as example and run above command from there:

for arg in {1..10}; do FILE="$(find -type f|shuf -n 1|cut -d\/ -f2-)"; cp -v --backup=numbered "$FILE" /path/to/tmp/dir/; done Read More »

Curl syntax for uploading images in the API page is incorrect

The image upload example shown below (w/o space added before MyTestPicture so it would not be auto-linked),

curl -d 'key=<your key>' -F 'media=@ MyTestPicture.jpg' -d 'content=<p>A picture is attached to this post</p>' https://loforo.com/api/post/create

also included in api description page does not work, curl fails with messages shown below and no request is sent.

Warning: You can only select one HTTP request method! You asked for both POST 
Warning: (-d, --data) and multipart formpost (-F, --form).

Use this instead (change -d to -F where needed, remove space before MyTestPicture, don't forget to quote html): Read More »
