RE: SteemJ v0.4.2 is available now ~ Use the Steem API in your Java Project

in #utopian-io7 years ago

Hay @tyvain,

Actually I needed something like this some time ago for a project and was searching for a solution.

  1. You can't upload images directly to the blockchain (Which is good because it would be god damn fcking huge now)
  2. I was thinking about writing an api for "steemimages.com" which is a service offered by Steem. Sadly, the result of a quick analysis is that it is limitted to "steemit.com" as a destination. I did not spend much time on this so this information may be wrong...
  3. I ended up using this Java-Lib to upload images to imgur.

Hope that helps a bit :)

yeah thanks.
I ended up with the same solution: using cloudinary.com wich is very simple img hosting.
A steemimages lib could be perfect, but 3rd party solutions works well also.

Great to hear that :)

True. I will try to check it again when I have more time, but as you said: Thirdparty libs are working too, so this idea has a quite low priority for me right now :)
