Making discord bot - random imgur? - Tunabish - Jun 25, 2018

Hey guys, I've never worked with API's/requests and all that stuff.
I'm trying to make a command in my discord bot that would grab a random image from imgur gallery.
Though I do not understand how this works at all even after reading the documentation.
ap i. imgur . com /endpoints/gallery#gallery-random

Right now I tried to do

Code 
       [Command("aww")]

        public async Task getRandomAww()

        {

            using (WebClient puppyClient = new WebClient())

            {

                string puppyLink = puppyClient.DownloadString("htt ps : // ap i. imgu r .c om/3/gallery/random/random/aww");

                //pull image from imgur or the link?

            }

        }

But that doesn't work because it just returns

Code 
{"data":{"error":"Authentication required","request":"\/3\/gallery\/random\/random\/aww","method":"GET"},"success":false,"status":401}

this is a error-message

Code 
"error":"Authentication required"

you need a imgur api key. register at developer on imgur and get your apikey

You need an access token

I figured out how to get a set of images from imgur gallery, but I haven't figured out how I get like the link of these images....
I know there's a .Link function but ehh D:
I'm using an imgur wrapper, which I would link if I could post links.
edit : http :// imgurapi.readthedocs . io/en/latest/endpoints/gallery-endpoint/#getsubredditgalleryasync

Code 
       public async Task GetImage()

        {

            try

            {

                var client = new ImgurClient("APP-ID");

                var endpoint = new GalleryEndpoint(client);

                var images = await endpoint.GetSubredditGalleryAsync("aww");

                Console.WriteLine();// here I wanted to print the link

            }

            catch (ImgurException imgurEx)

            {

                Debug.Write("An error occurred getting an image from Imgur.");

                Debug.Write(imgurEx.Message);

            }

        }

It doesn't work if I just do images[1].Link
Anyone knows how I do this? x_x

What's the return type of GetSubredditGalleryAsync() I can't find it on their docs.

You don't need an API key, just go to the home page ( or category page ) and download every image by <img>/<image> tag, then scroll down

this is a webbrowser method i used to scrape 2.77M Images

Why??

WebBrowser could suck but as long as you use proxies for scraping tons of images, Could Violate TOS..

webbrowser is for retards and scraping images, downloading, and sending to discord is for retards.

Who would wanna use Imgur's API, it sucks..

Use a Webbrowser without the window ( not giving code ) and ignore this guy..

Did I say a link.. Do i have to explain everything ??

Plus, You can Download then upload image & delete a Downloaded image

iq 10 means idiots like you need to ask self-explanatory questions..

P.S. It's pretty obvious.. IF you arent "iq 10" that someone shouldn't have to explain everything to you at once

Whatever. API's cost performance & Money 🤭 😎

Here's a sample project. You need to implement your own way to see if a picture redirects to removed.png though https://files.catbox.moe/rtryeq.zip
