Imgur Wiped Out By Sky Broadband Torrent Site Blocking

Posted on by

Sky regularly pull IP addresses listed on our DNS servers and adds them to their block list. This block list is then used by an advanced proxy system that redirects any requests to the blacklisted IP addresses to a webserver that the ISP owns which returns a blocked page message,” YIFY explains.

Therefore, when YIFY began using CloudFlare servers in Australia, Sky pulled these IP addresses and blocked them in the mistaken belief that they were YIFY’s. Since Imgur uses the same IP addresses, Sky’s automated blocking took the site offline, to the huge disappointment of countless customers.

The Imgur API – General Information

Posted on by

Imgur’s API exposes the entire Imgur infrastructure via a standardized programmatic interface. Using Imgur’s API, you can do just about anything you can do on imgur.com, while using your programming language of choice.

The Imgur API is a RESTful API based on HTTP requests and XML or JSON responses. If you’re familiar with the APIs of Twitter, Amazon’s S3, del.icio.us, or a host of other web services, you’ll feel right at home.

This version of the API, version 3, uses OAuth 2.0. This means that all requests will need to be encrypted and sent via SSL/TSL to https://. It also means that you need to register your application, even if you aren’t allowing users to login.
