What you can build

Structured data for real applications. Here are some ideas.

Gallery Search & Trend Discovery

Search the public Imgur gallery by keyword and page through results with titles, view counts, vote counts, comment counts, album flags and tags already parsed.

Post & Album Enrichment

Open any Imgur post or album by its 7-character id for the full title, description, media list with absolute https URLs, dimensions, view counts and vote counts.

User Profile & Submissions

Read a public Imgur account with reputation, bio, avatar, trophies and the user's public submissions with media, all through one endpoint.

Tag & Viral Monitoring

Follow a tag gallery or the viral feed over time and collect posts with view counts, points, comment counts and tags for content trend analysis.

Content Moderation Signals

Filter by the mature flag, view counts and vote counts to score and triage public Imgur content without parsing HTML yourself.

Imgur data API

Structured Imgur gallery, post and user data without parsing HTML

Scrappa is built for teams searching for an Imgur scraper API, Imgur gallery API, or post detail endpoint. Use one API key to search the gallery, open posts and albums for media and vote counts, read public user profiles with submissions, browse tag galleries and follow the viral feed, all as structured JSON with absolute https URLs and ISO 8601 timestamps.

Search the gallery by keyword and page with 1-indexed page numbers, tags, view counts, vote counts and comment counts.

Open any post or album by its 7-character id for title, description, media with dimensions, views, votes, comments, tags and created time.

Read a public user profile with reputation, bio, avatar, trophies and the account's public submissions with media.

Browse a tag gallery with the weekly window and viral sort, or follow the viral feed with cover ids and tags.

Frequently asked questions

No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Imgur. The Imgur API returns structured JSON from public gallery, post, account and tag endpoints through a Scrappa API key.

Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits each month. After that, each request costs one credit, which works out to $0.20 to $0.30 per 1,000 requests depending on the credit pack or plan. Failed requests are never charged.

Gallery search, tag gallery and viral use 1-indexed page numbers; user submissions use 0-indexed pages. The response returns has_more from the upstream signal, and a valid empty result is a successful response.

Upstream blocks, captchas, rate limits, timeouts and parse errors all map to a non-billable error response so a failed request is never charged. Unknown posts, users and tags answer 404 NotFound without charging.
