• /api/images/user/{userName} - A GET request to obtain all the images associated with the User

Before accessing the Imgur APIs you need to obtain the client-ID and client-secret for your application from Imgur. For more information you can visit - https://apidocs.imgur.com/#intro

Since, this is a very basic example of how to use Imgur API, it can be enhanced further by:

• Obtaining access tokens and refresh tokens to enable more dedicated functionality.
• To use Redis for storing tokens.
• Using Spring Security to enhance the security features.
• Only basic Junit test cases has been added. More functionalities can be added to have a more robust testing framework.
• Can look into adding the functionality for Kafka.
