To use the SDK in a Python project, first import library:
import cloudinary
import cloudinary.uploader
import cloudinary.api
Then configure a new instance of Cloudinary:
cloudinary.config(
cloud_name = "YOUR_CLOUD_NAME",
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY",
api_secret = "YOUR_API_SECRET",
secure = True
)
# or
config = cloudinary.config(secure=True) # when using env variables
Finally, run the uploadImage method, passing in your image source:
image = ['./path/to/image.jpg'] // Can be an array of remote URL or base64 DataURI
result = cloudinary.uploader.upload(image)
- Create an environment variable file
.envand inside add:
CLOUDINARY_URL=cloudinary://<api_key>:<api_secret>@<cloud_name>
- Install all project dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run the python script with:
python3 <filename>
For example, inside the examples/python-image-upload directory:
python3 upload.py
The script will run in your terminal and you'll see the results logged.
