I provided my username and password in my config but it still won't work.

Login support with username & password has been implemented, as well as friendlier and more informative error messages when no JSON data could be found.

If you can't login because imgur wants you to enter a captcha, it is always possible to login with your browser, export imgur's cookies, and use those with gallery-dl.

[mikf]

gallery-dl is now using Imgur's API to get image and album information, which doesn't need any authentication for NSFW content or otherwise.

You are bold enough to use/expose your own api key for this Mike?

[mikf]

That's not my own API key, it's Imgur's "public" key embedded into every Imgur page. Go to, for example, https://imgur.com/21yMxCS, look at its HTML source, and search for "apiClientId".

[github-userx]

Oh , got it. That’s interesting, thanks.
