Transformations & Effects in Python with Cloudinary Python SDK

🧰 Using the SDK in a Python project

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

import cloudinary
from cloudinary import CloudinaryImage

Then configure a new instance of Cloudinary:

cloudinary.config( 
  cloud_name = "YOUR_CLOUD_NAME", 
  api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY", 
  api_secret = "YOUR_API_SECRET",
  secure = True
)
# or
config = cloudinary.config(secure=True) # when using env variables

Finally, run the imageOverlay method, passing in your image name(the image first should be uploaded in cloudinary and here image name is nothing but Public ID ):

image = CloudinaryImage("(public_id_of_image).jpg").build_url(secure=True,transformation=[transformation_config])

🚀 Get Started with This Example

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

CLOUDINARY_URL=cloudinary://<api_key>:<api_secret>@<cloud_name>

• Install all project dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Run the python script with:

For example, inside the examples/python-image-overlay directory:

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