I'm looking for an image hosting website that'll allow me to upload images onto their servers from my own website using an API. I like Imgur.com's API but I'm looking for alternatives.

    I'm not sure why people are flagging this as more suitable for Server Fault. APIs are used by developers more often than sysadmins. – Brian Lyttle Apr 17 '10 at 00:09

    It's a question I was actually looking for through Google, so it's useful but I don't think it's a programming question with a correct answer. It's open ended and subjective. :-) _Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it._ – jmk2142 Apr 12 '14 at 03:54

  • Many thanks. Cloudinary is great for developers who want to integrate via backend and have full control. Also the transformations are nice too. – MickJ Apr 24 '15 at 21:51

    Yeah. Also, you can reduce the server-side load using jQuery plugins. Its great. – Ashim Oct 05 '15 at 17:15

    https://image4.io is newer, better and cheaper solution. I recommend that. – Iren Saltalı Apr 19 '19 at 20:44

Flickr has an API. I've never tried to use it, but it seems very well-documented.

  • As per their guidelines, its not for commercial usage. You can use it to get images from flicker and build a application over it. But if you plan to use it as a Image storage service, not a good idea. – Sanchit Oct 02 '16 at 12:23
