Imgur — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is Imgur free to use?

Imgur is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires OAuth, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.

Does Imgur need an API key?

Imgur uses OAuth rather than a simple key, so you register an application and complete an authorisation flow before making calls. That is more setup than a key, and it is why OAuth APIs are harder to try quickly.

Can I call Imgur from browser JavaScript?

Yes. Imgur returned CORS headers when we checked it, so a browser will let your page read the response. You can fetch it directly from client-side JavaScript with no proxy and no backend.

Is Imgur still working?

Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached Imgur and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 1860 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.

Is Imgur available over HTTPS?

Yes. Imgur serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
