Send Selfie to Flickr or Photobucket

in_a_days

I think this module is fun:

But e-mailing the selfie image seems kind of clunky. I think it would be great if the “Selfie” image can be automatically (or optionally) uploaded to my account on an online image hosting service.

I can handle a lot of the simple changes to the code. I’m comfortable modifying the socketNotificaiton send and receives, and I think I know what I need to carve out of the original module. But I do not know how to write the script that will communicate with the image hosting servers. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You will need to communicate via the API’s that these services provide. For example flickr has this:

@alexyak this flickr-upload npm package https://www.npmjs.com/package/flickr-upload can be utilized for that functionality. (Heh, I just realized it was written by a friend of mine)

Hi,

I have camera installed (and dependencies) working on my MM. The only problem I have is that it doesn’t email the picture. I’m sure I’ve made a mistake somewhere. I was hoping you might help me.

{
			module: 'camera',
    			position: 'top_right',
    			config: {
			selfieInterval: 3,  // Time interval in seconds before the photo will be taken.
        		emailConfig: {
            		service: 'iCloud', // Email provider to use to send email with a photo.
            		auth: {
                	user: 'xxxxxxxx@icloud.com', // Your email account
                	pass: 'xxxxxxxxxx'        // Your password for email account
            	}
        	}
		}
		},

Does it use the same email account to send To: and From: ? If not, how/where do I tell the module the address to send the picture to? Also, can I change the size of the picture being taken from 640x480 to 320x240?

Many thanks ahead of time. :thumbsup_tone1:
