Description SimplyCorbett 2021-07-02 20:43:29 UTC

Can we get integration with user-input chevereto API for spectacle? And can we also get support for the webp format?

Thank you!

WebP is already supported (if your underlying libraries support it; that's a distribution-issue). I can click *Save As* in Spectacle, and choose "WebP" as format in the save-dialog. That gets me, for instance,

Since the OP didn't explain it, I looked it up:

- Chevereto is a self-hosting "Image hosting platform"; think "Image shack" or any of the other dozen image-hosters in the Spectacle Export > More Online Services menu.
- These are, I think, KIPI plugins and not Spectacle-specific.
- The API documentation for Chevereto is at https://v3-docs.chevereto.com/api/#api-call -- and is rather sparse. 
- It looks like the UI in KIPI would need to ask for a URL and an API key (like for imgur it asks for login and password). Then it's a single POST request, although I haven't found any useful example code (ShareX is C#; I can't find what I'm looking for there).

Kipi or else Purpose. Kipi is semi-abandoned so it would make more sense to add this to Purpose IMO.
