Gyazo API

Overview

The Gyazo API can be used in a wide array of apps to upload new images, show a Gyazo user’s images, and more. It provides a RESTful API for HTTP requests and returns a response in JSON. This should be familiar to anyone who has used major APIs before such as Amazon S3 and Twitter.
