Imgur upload plugin takes old ClientId for authentication

[ramananayak]

Hi, I was using authenticated imgur upload without any problems, but a week back it was showing issues , So I deleted the client id, revoked app access .Now I have regenerated clientId But every time now if I enter this new client ID and click on authenticate, I can see the URL still takes some other clientId and not the one which I entered . So I suspect, my old clientId is stored somewhere which I need to delete it. So any help would be appreciated on this. thanks !

Hi @ramananayak
You can not enter or use client id when you choose "authenticated upload". Client id is only used for anonymous upload:

obsidian-imgur-plugin/src/uploader/imgur/ImgurAnonymousUploader.ts

Lines 17 to 21 in e526000

	const resp = await fetch(`${IMGUR_API_BASE}image`, {
	method: "POST",
	headers: new Headers({ Authorization: `Client-ID ${this.clientId}` }),
	body: requestData,
	});

For authenticated upload, the plugin uses your OAuth token (which you silently receive by authenticating in your browser), client id is not used at all:

obsidian-imgur-plugin/src/imgur/ImgurClient.ts

Lines 37 to 41 in e526000

	const resp = await fetch(`${IMGUR_API_BASE}image`, {
	method: "POST",
	headers: new Headers({ Authorization: `Bearer ${this.accessToken}` }),
	body: requestData,
	});

I had some issues with authenticated upload recently too. I do not know the reason why. And I do not think there is anything I can do with it from plugin's source code, it's on imgur's side

I see ! thanks for clarification @gavvvr . So is it working fine for you now ? Just wanted to know so that I can try once again.

@ramananayak I did not make any changes to plugin's code. If it does not work sometimes, it's an Imgur's failure. The plugin's code is pretty straightforward
