## Creating your own custom Client ID

In Flameshot we have provided our users a common Client ID with which they can upload their screenshot without creating their own accounts on Imgur, but considering the sheer volume of our ever growing users it can happen more often that the users get an error similar to the following from Imgur which indicates that our hourly quota is full:

## I have my own custom Client ID in Imgur, but I cannot find the uploaded picture in my profile

The way the communication between Flameshot and Imgur wors is that your Client ID only means that you are useing a separate upload quota. Whatever you upload is still uploaded annonymously to Imgur and is not tied to your profile. This is clearly explained in [Imgur documentation](https://apidocs.imgur.com/#intro):

> For public read-only and anonymous resources, such as getting image info, looking up user comments, etc. all you need to do is send an authorization header with your client_id in your requests. This also works if you'd like to upload images anonymously (without the image being tied to an account), or if you'd like to create an anonymous album. This lets us know which application is accessing the API.

For this reason _no one_ (including Flameshot developers) can modify or delete the photo you upload. There are two exception to this rule: Imgur staff, and the client that has uploaded the image (meaning the copy of Flameshot you have on your computer).

## How can I delete an uploaded photo

There are two steps in Flameshot in which you can delete the uploaded image (explained below). If these do not work, you have to [contact Imgur](https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) and give them detailed information and ask them to remove the photo.
