How can I upload a photo to imgur from the command line and get their direct link?
The list of (mostly third-party) tools on the imgur website (http://imgur.com/tools) features three bash
scripts:

i tried myself today on imgur and it's quite complex , the documentation is pretty bad written so the procedure is not clear . May i suggest to try imagebin.ca ?! cuz has a simpler API to upload files :
curl -s -F key="YOURKEY_JUST_REGISTER_ON_IMAGEBIN.CA_and go_on_profile_to get it" \
-F file="@$1" \
https://imagebin.ca/upload.php | awk -F':' '/url:/{gsub(/url:/,"") ; print $0 }'
if you are using linux and kde =>
qdbus org.kde.klipper /klipper org.kde.klipper.klipper.setClipboardContents "$(curl -s -F key="YOURKEY_________PLEASE_EDIT_IT" \
-F file="@$1" \
https://imagebin.ca/upload.php | awk -F':' '/url:/{gsub(/url:/,"") ; print $0 }' )"
