How to process images in Django and then send them to a third-party host?

Question

Django

The process looks something like this:
- The user uploads an image from his computer via a web form
- The server receives the image, performs basic automatic processing (cropping, resizing), but does not save it in the database, but sends it to a third-party image hosting (in the first approximation - for example ,imgur). Then a link to the image address is entered into the database.
Interested in how easily such a scenario is implemented using Django; how applicable it is in conditions close to production, and whether there are alternative ways to work with images in conditions of limited file space on the hosting.

Answer 1

Elementary.
Having studied the API of the service to which the file will be uploaded.
For imgur https://api.imgur.com/endpoints/image
There is also an official library for python https://github.com/Imgur/imgurpython
We accept an image in a view, process it, convert it to a binary or base64 and send it to the service API .
In the case of the library, you will have to save it to the server, send it to imgur, and delete it from the server.

Answer 2

Documentation is everything.

A bit outdated, but understand the principle and it won't be hard to implement.
