Python and the imgur API: Setup and Installation (Part 1/3)

NOTE: The documentation for the imgur API has since changed from the time of the recording this video. I encourage you to consult to relevant API documentation and make any necessary changes. This is the nature of software, so thank you for understanding, and for watching! :)

In this video, we make use of the official imgur client side library to have some fun with Python and imgur!

As always, the code used in this video (and the rest in the series) can be found on my Github profile:

For anyone watching this video more recently, I think the usage of configparser has changed a bit since this video released. Instead using the config.get method, you should be able to define a variable like configdata = config["configname"] and then access members of that config section like user_id = configdata['user_id']. This method worked for me, as whats shown in the video produces errors where the config file section is not recognized.
