About Imgbb

ImgBB provides an API for uploading images. Requests are made via POST or GET, with POST recommended due to URL length limits on GET requests. Uploads accept a binary file, base64-encoded data, or an image URL, up to 32 MB, along with a required API key.

The API supports an optional expiration parameter that automatically deletes an upload after a set time, configurable between 60 and 15,552,000 seconds. Responses are returned in JSON and include the uploaded image's ID, viewer URL, direct URL, display URL, dimensions, size, upload time, and a delete URL, along with thumbnail and medium-size image variants and their metadata.

The service is intended for developers who need to programmatically upload and host images and retrieve associated URLs and metadata in response.
