Why am I being redirected when attempting to register on imgur API?


https://apidocs.imgur.com step 2 says:

Register your Application ( https://api.imgur.com/oauth2/addclient )

However, the above link does NOT work! Every time I attempt to register my app, I am redirected to https://myusername.imgur.com/all/

I have tried:

  1. Both Chrome + Firefox.
  2. Both "Incognito" type modes on both browsers.
  3. VPN to other countries
  4. Different computer
  5. Watching YouTube videos for visuals that I'm going to the right place.
  6. Ensured I'm looking at the latest and greatest API docs

I'm out of luck.

EDIT: I also found another URL that also just redirects me: https://imgur.com/register/api


Solution

  • The system was down without notice: It seems to be back up now. It was an imgur issue. The outage was ~1 week for new registrants.
