Uploading Images to Cloudinary with the Java SDK

🧰 Uploading Images with the SDK in a Java project

To use the SDK in a Java project, first import library:

import com.cloudinary.*;
import com.cloudinary.utils.ObjectUtils;    (For Setting the configuration parameters )

Then configure a new instance of Cloudinary:

Cloudinary cloudinary = new Cloudinary(ObjectUtils.asMap(
"cloud_name", "my_cloud_name",
"api_key", "my_api_key",
"api_secret", "my_api_secret",
"secure", true));

//or

Cloudinary cloudinary = new Cloudinary("cloudinary://my_key:my_secret@my_cloud_name");

//or

Cloudinary cloudinary = new Cloudinary(dotenv.get("CLOUDINARY_URL"));

Finally, run project, passing in your image source:

URL imageDirectoryURL = App.class.getResource("/images"); // give location of the images under resources (In this example Images are under resources package)
Map result = cloudinary.uploader().upload(contents[i], ObjectUtils.emptyMap());

🚀 Get Started with This Example

• Create an environment variable file .env and inside add:

CLOUDINARY_URL=cloudinary://my_key:my_secret@my_cloud_name

• Open Eclipse IDE and click on file menu then click on import

• Expand Maven and then click on Maven Existing Projects

• Browse to project folder location then click on finish

• Now on side bar you will see java-image-upload project downloading dependencies

• Expand java-image-upload

The script will run in your terminal and you'll see the results logged.
