[Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images

[Timelord2067]

Once again thank you for your understanding, and I hope to have everything back to normal within a few hours.
Soon more news.

The script I ran was able to port about 35 images before it crashed ^{(I'm sorry to say I didn't see your notification earlier)} - I've had a look and the images are now working!  I've also noticed that the images are being ported from most recent backwards through time.  Was this a conscious decision, or it just happened that way?

Kudos for all your work, the both of you.

The upgrade process is not over yet, as a new server is being set up for the ImgTalk project. While this process takes place and in order to keep the service online, I inform you that you can upload images, but to maintain stability, each IP can only upload 50 images per hour.

Can the script be slowed down to one page (i.e. 20 posts) per minute?

Thanks for creating and providing this script. If it works it will spare me hours upon hours - much appreciated.
Will be able to try out in 2 days and then report back on how it went.

Sadly, imugur is going to delete pictures today, unless you uploaded those via an account.
I have just discovered this tool. I will try to run it asap.

I am running now. I get errors as I am uploading too many images (more than 50 images per hour).
Are there any alternative ways of running it?

I ask you to wait a little longer to carry out this transaction process.
As far as I know, this script uses a TryNinja proxy, so it's always using the same IP.

As I said, I'm upgrading the server and in order not to lose information, I have to control the flow of uploads. I hope you understand the situation. In a few hours, I hope to have the situation more normalized.

Thank you very much for all you guys are doing.
Hopefully in a few hours images will still be available on imgur website!

Who's going to secure images on the Investigations board? I never scraped that board.

Can you indicate more or less how many images you have to carry out the process?

I would say a few thousands. I have 12k posts, my guesstimate is around a third post with images. This means 4k images.

How often did you add images by editing your post? I won't have those, but I should have the majority.

Not that often I think.
The vast majority of posts have images already included.
But I am confident about @joker_josue will finish his mantenaince before it’s too late, and I will be able to use his script.

Yeah... it might be a little high flow, for this moment of changes in the server.
I'll see what I can do in the meantime. (I sent PM)

Since there is a risk (?) of imgur deleting images today, I decided to add ImgBB as a image provider while TalkImg is under maintenance.

Just change the field "provider" at the top to "imgbb" (IMPORTANT: ALL LOWERCASE) and add your account's API key just a few lines below (providers -> imgbb -> apiKey).

Example:

Code:

const provider = 'imgbb'

Code:

imgbb: {
    url: 'https://api.imgbb.com/1/upload',
    apiKey: 'YOUR-API-KEY',
    uploadsPerMinute: 10,
    deleteOnError: false,
}

Run the script and the images will be uploaded to imgbb + your posts updated.

The script is now published (and will be updated) here: https://gist.github.com/ninjastic/36c14fb2eb1c4b750f40f332d408688f


People who are making translations and/or posting on their own local threads, please don't put the code directly on your local threads since I'm always fixing something here or there and your code will most likely be outdated. Instead, link this thread and tell people to get the code from here.

Good job brother.

Questions:
How do I get the API Key of imgbb. I did not need it yesterday though. It seems I need to register with them. Hopefully there is a chance to skip it.

1. Create your account: https://imgbb.com/signup
2. Go to the API page and click "Get API key": https://api.imgbb.com

If I understand correctly, I did everything correctly.



What am I missing now?

I see a problem, though it's about registering with imgbb but let's figure out how to run the script properly then we can talk about that later.

[TryNinja]

What am I missing now?

Go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;sa=showPosts

How many pages do you see? And which browser are you using?

Feel free to message me over telegram @TryNinja so we can debug this faster.

I don't use scammers heaven LOL

By the way, it's working fine now. It seems you also worked on the error handling about the pages which are locked. Let's hope I am able to update all posts that is containing images out of 10K plus posts 🤣

The account on imgbb.
I created an account with a temp email which means after making this update once I will close my browser I will forget about it. In that case if imgbb close the account for inactivity then it seems all the images uploaded from this account will be removed [Possibly]. We really need talkimg to comeback and able to take loads.

i just try the script and i add my API from ImgBB but it's still not working for me.
i use google chrome and the number of pages shown in the script is correct.
On which steps that i got wrong? or is it just all the image already got deleted?

[babo]

very good code, i am just curious and inspect it on gist

clean coded and do everything

one stuff not convincing me: edit

probably is usefull a "not edit version" without edit for permit folks like me help guy like fillippone

or better a useful solution is upload a image like imgur.com/blabla111.jpg in talkimg.com/blabla111.jpg with same hashid/userid for easy transation from fucking-imgur and new service

just my two cents

[joker_josue]

I would also like to share here the latest update about the TalkImg.com server update process:

SITUATION STATUS:
I'm on the final face of the server upgrade process. I will now start migrating data to the new server.
To ensure that no images are lost during this process, uploads will be paused.

In this sense, during the next few hours, it will not be possible to make new uploads. But, the images continued to function normally in the forum. There will be no problems displaying the images.

Once again, thank you for your understanding. Soon everything will be back to normal.
