Generate an API key
In ImgLink Settings → API Keys, generate a key for your IPS domain.
Configure credentials
Edit config.json with your apiBase and apiKey.
{
"apiBase": "https://imglink.cc",
"apiKey": "YOUR_KEY_HERE",
"retries": 3
}Call from your IPS hook
Invoke ImgLinkInvision::upload($filePath, $config) in your upload hook and store the returned url.

$cdnUrl = $result['url'];Why host images on ImgLink?
Global CDN
Images served from a global edge network. Sub-100ms load times. No bandwidth cost to your forum server.
Scoped API Keys
One API key per forum. Revoke or rotate instantly. Keys never leave your config file — never hardcoded.
Retry Safety
Exponential backoff on every upload. Images never fail silently — retries handle transient network issues.
